& Other Stories unveils collab with Roksanda Ilinčić
Roksanda Ilinčić, founder and creative director of Roksanda
Known for her unmistakable signature use of colour, sculptural silhouettes, and dedication to empowering women, Roksanda brings her distinctive design codes to a limited-edition summer capsule collection for the premium highstreet brand that explores the intersection of art, architecture, and femininity.
Inspired by the chromatic poetry of summer sunsets, the collection is crafted to move through the season with graceful drama, from elevated daytime dressing to elegant evening events. The edit features colour-blocked silks, architectural tailoring, fluid drapes as well as bold accessories – from footwear to jewellery – rooted in the hallmarks of Roksanda's artful aesthetic. '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 the London-based designer.
Anchored in the idea of dressing as a form of self-expression and strength, each silhouette speaks to the modern woman's duality—graceful yet grounded, poetic yet precise. '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,' adds Malin Sone, Head of Design at & Other Stories. 'We cannot wait to unveil this collection, which we believe will deeply resonate with our customers and become a cherished part of their wardrobes.'
Since launching her eponymous label in 2005, ROKSANDA has built a loyal global following with her deeply intuitive approach to femininity in the luxury fashion space—fluid yet fierce, refined yet rebellious, empowered yet sophisticated.
The ROKSANDA collab collection will be available in selected stores worldwide and online on stories.com on 15 May 2025.

30 resort-inspired picks for your end of summer staycation

Did Apoorva Mukhija's ex-boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya, take a dig at her?
Popular YouTuber Apoorva Mukhija, known as The Rebel Kid, is back in the headlines. At a time when India's Got Talent controversy appears to have died down, Mukhija's ex-boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya, seems to be taking a sharp dig at her. Taking to Instagram, Dahiya shared a video of him singing for the "cute little red flag", a phrase Apoorva often uses in her videos. Mentioning that the relationship lasted twenty weeks, Dahiya asked his former partner to stop targeting him. "I asked why you called me disgusting in front of the world, you said, 'This is all business for me,'" Dahiya sang at one point. Dahiya captioned his post, "Never try to gain sympathy by fabricating lies or pushing false narratives just to make content and assassinate someone's character online. Having a big following doesn't give you the right to bully your way by rage-baiting your audience and unleashing them on others." The video instantly became a topic of discussion for many, as social media users joined in to connect the dots. One wrote, "Life really said plot twist. Now she's the Taylor Swift fan, but he's the one dropping breakup tracks." Dahiya, however, refrained from mentioning her name in his post. The YouTuber, who reportedly broke up with Dahiya in January last year, is yet to comment. Apoorva was recently seen in the first season of The Traitors.
