Spring is primetime for designer collabs, but the Roksanda & Other Stories collection which drops today has got us more excited than usual. Sculptural dresses in candy-coloured hues just in time for our busy social calendars? Sign us up. Seriously: available to shop online and in-stores now, this is their best line-up to date.
London-based label ROKSANDA, founded in 2005 by Roksanda Ilinčić, is best known for their architectural shapes and bursts of vibrant hues splashed onto dramatic dresses and separates alike. A London Fashion Week regular, the designer recently showcased her latest collection in February, a crafty and clever lineup of looks inspired by renowned British artist Phyllida Barlow, who often used discarded materials in her work.
For her collaboration with high street fan favourite & Other Stories, Roksanda was apparently inspired by summer sunsets.
The 21-piece collection sees her signature combination of fluid forms and structure, and plenty of colour-blocking of course. Roksanda has long been fascinated with the idea of fashion as a way of “sheltering” which has lent itself to cocooning shapes that provide a sense of protection to the wearer. Femininity and architectural lines will also be strong themes throughout.
"Wearing a garment can transform the spirit, mood, and sense of self. To create this emotional connection, I constantly reflect on what women wish to highlight, conceal, and celebrate to craft pieces that evoke emotions and uplift," says Roksanda Ilinčić.
Adds Malin Sone, Head of Design at & Other Stories: “We are excited to collaborate with Roksanda, a true visionary in fashion. Her ability to blend art, architecture, and femininity results in a collection that is both empowering and timeless. We cannot wait to unveil this collection, which we believe will deeply resonate with our customers and become a cherished part of their wardrobes."
Roksanda & Other Stories is available in selected stores worldwide and online on stories.com on 15 May 2025.
