For the first time ever, & Other Stories has created a collection for women and kids, from one and a half to eight years old. Featuring summery, printed dresses and sets all in sustainably sourced materials, the collection is inspired by the importance of female role models in a young girl’s life. Whether it’s with her mother, grandmother, aunt or anyone else with a close bond. Joy, optimism and wisdom flows through each precious relationship and into every piece of this beautiful collection.
Created in & Other Stories’ Paris Atelier, the collection has a romantic, elegant charm that evokes languid summer days in the garden. There’s also a sense of passing down a passion for fashion and personal style from one generation to the next while cherishing the unique relationship between women and girls. Through all of life’s stages, confidence and love abound.

“I’m proud that we can showcase our design aesthetics and love of storytelling to a younger generation, all the while celebrating female role models in a girl’s life”
There are six matching looks – a dress for the woman and a dress or coordinated set for the girl – with inclusive sizing details in mind. A white broderie anglaise midi-dress with smocked body, ruffled sleeves, and a contrasting A-line skirt is translated into a two-piece set of top and shorts in the same silhouette for the girl. The knee-length dress with puff shoulders and ruffle hem in both versions comes in a pink/purple on white floral print or a black polka dot print on white, while a plant-dyed soft pink maxi-length dress has tie-up shoulder straps, smocking details around the chest, broderie anglaise trim and a deep ruffled hem in both versions, as well. This is the first time & Other Stories has used plant dyes for the soft pink. The dye comes from the Rubia cordifolia, a flowering plant in the coffee family.
The white empire waist midi-length dress in a dotted floral print has wide shoulder straps and side slits up each leg, while the kid’s version has a smocked chest and tie-up shoulder straps. The sage green floral print midi-length dress in Tencel lyocell and linen with cross-body wrap, voluminous sleeves and deep ruffled hem turns into a two-piece set of top and shorts with ruffled sleeves and scalloped hems. All pieces except for the sage green ones are made from organic cotton.
This collection will launch at & Other Stories stores this May, 2021. Explore all the & Other Stories’ collections in the boutique in Grand Avenue – The Avenues. Follow @andotherstories on Instagram for more lifestyle ideas from & Other Stories.
