collection
A collection of objects, especially a collection of fashion, jewelry, or art that is presented as belonging together. The term is often used as a more stylish or international variant of 'Kollektion' (collection) or 'Sammlung' (collection).

The word 'Collection' (collection) is an Anglicism or Gallicism and is used as a stylish, international alternative to 'Kollektion' (collection) or 'Sammlung' (collection). It is found almost exclusively in the fields of fashion, jewelry, art, and design.

Common combinations are 'neue Collection' (new collection), 'aktuelle Collection' (current collection), or names based on seasons such as 'Herbst/Winter-Collection' (fall/winter collection). Typical verbs are 'präsentieren' (to present), 'vorstellen' (to introduce/present), or 'entwerfen' (to design).

Sammlung is the neutral term for artworks shown together. Collection can refer to the same works, but emphasizes their stylish, curated presentation as a cohesive group and sounds more international. Sammlung is suitable for a factual description, while Collection is more appropriate for a deliberately elegant presentation.
