Roks our World

Once estranged institutions, the relationship between high fashion and the high street has flourished from mutually exclusive to mutually beneficial. Stefano Pilati for Zara, A.W.A.K.E. MODE for John Lewis, Maison Margiela for H & M- bringing flair to vast and varied customer bases and giving the fashion pack a chance to indulge in their favourite brands at more accessible price points. We love a high street and high fashion collaborative moment. Launching this May and landing just in time for your spring wardrobe refresh, & Other Stories will collaborate with London Fashion Week favourite Roksanda for a capsule collection steeped in architectural femininity. 

Since launching her eponymous label in 2005, Roksanda Ilinčić has been a mainstay on the sartorial calendar for good reason. Unashamed femininity marries with a strong sense of empowerment, and Roksanda has established itself as a brand designed by a woman for women. Embodying a protective spirit, each Roksanda piece is infused with a sense of strength, crafted with the intention to empower the wearer without shying away. This latest collaboration is no different.

Inspired by summer sunsets, the collection's palette has been derived from the citrus hues that blanket the summertime sky. Languid days spent under the sun transition into warm nights, and the capsule's combination of fluidity and structure evokes the seamless shift from day to evening that summer affords. Centering women in her practice, Roksanda balances femininity through sumptuous shades and flowing fabrics while also cherishing the emotional stakes of dressing as a woman, recognising the importance of confidence and, sometimes, the need for shelter and protection. “I constantly reflect on what women wish to highlight, conceal, and celebrate to craft pieces that evoke emotions and uplift,” says Roksanda, and after stealing a glimpse at her & Other Stories collaboration, we think she has managed to do just that.

Available to shop from 15th May in selected Other Stories locations, the collaboration stands as a testament to both brands' commitment to fostering empowerment through fashion. Combining Other Stories' diverse customer base with Roksanda's design vision, treat yourself and step into early summer with some new pieces. But get there quickly—we have a feeling this is going to be a capsule you won't want to miss.
