The CO|TE collection for autumn/winter 2012 is called ‘Mirror Mirror’, quoted after a famous tale. And the CO|TE woman is just as confident as Snow White of this reviving fairytale. She dares to dress herself uniquely, thanks to the layering of fabrics and colours that define the style of CO|TE this season.

The collection exists mostly of dresses, jackets and trousers, using many shades of blue, nude and sometimes a bright colour accent. The dresses are feminine but edgy, and often end just above the knee. Furry jackets, leather clutches and colour block dresses create an image of an independent, young woman.
