As the days grow shorter and the nights stretch longer, & Other Stories unveils By Night, a November collection that captures the shifting moods of the season. With a confident ease that moves seamlessly from day to dusk, the line reinvents eveningwear through a modern, expressive lens.
“It’s partywear reimagined for today,” says Jonathan Saunders, Chief Creative Officer. “Feminine fabrics and expressive textures are rendered into modern 1990s silhouettes, carrying the attitude of mixing casualwear with eveningwear and creating a sense of charismatic eccentricity.”
True to that sentiment, the collection thrives on contrasts: matte meets shine, leather clashes beautifully with lace, velvet softens against satin. Assertive outerwear grounds the look, while masculine and feminine codes intertwine, with sharp tailoring balanced by fluid ease.
The colour palette is both grounded and illuminated. Everyday neutrals such as black, brown, grey, and cream serve as a canvas for champagne and bronze accents. Rich tones of red, burgundy, and deep purple add timeless depth, while a hint of leopard print punctuates the story.
Silhouettes range from the sculptural to the effortless. Micro-minis and sweeping lengths coexist, voluminous sleeves meet precise tailoring, and elongated biker jackets redefine modern outerwear. Luxurious fabrics including silk, leather, lace, satin, and velvet play with texture and tactility, while sequins, faux fur, and soft knits in cashmere and mohair add dimension.
Accessories complete the narrative with purpose. Knee-high boots and satin slingback pumps pair with lattice-woven bags and classic silhouettes reimagined. Knitted details in cashmere and wool offer the final touch, refined yet unmistakably personal.
By Night is available in selected stores and online at stories.com.
