Look Alive: The Coolest High-Street Collaboration Is Dropping This Week
We urge you to follow these instructions: Pick up an indelible ink pen and circle March 17 very clearly in your diary—it's the date Rodarte's collaboration with & Other Stories becomes available this week. Yes, you read that correctly. Rodarte, as in the super-creative Californian sister design duo (Laura and Kate Mulleavy) who produce clothes that are near couture-level standards and adored by A-listers the world over, has teamed up with our favourite addition to the high street in recent years, the always directional Scandi label & Other Stories.
Think of the girls' signatures—like their slightly '80s-tinged disco gear worn as daywear or luxe bohemian gowns styled out with attitude and leathers—and you'll be on the right track for the aesthetic of this affordable partnership.
It's a recipe for fashion success, and already Chloë Grace Moretz and Selena Gomez have been lucky enough to get their hands on the line before launch.
So here's a sneak peek—scroll down to see this very clever collab in action. Dibs on the patchwork boots!
