& Other Stories Dresses for the Festive Season

For Holiday 2026, & Other Stories explores the art of dressing for the festive season, drawing inspiration from glamorous evenings, intimate dinners and celebrations that stretch into the night. Expressive occasionwear meets sophisticated everyday pieces, creating a versatile wardrobe designed to move effortlessly from day to evening. At the heart of the collection is a dialogue between strength and softness, structure and sensuality. Sculptural silhouettes and tuxedo inspired tailoring establish a confident sense of form, while fluid draping and feminine cuts bring a softer dimension. The considered proportions create a wardrobe that feels both modern and expressive, balancing statement making pieces with more understated elegance.

Texture plays an equally important role. Velvet, lace and satin introduce a sense of richness, while sequins and metallic details lend a subtle shimmer. Bouclé, faux fur and generous knits provide contrast, bringing warmth and softness to the collection’s interpretation of winter glamour.As Louise Lasson, Acting Head of Design, explains, the intention is to create pieces that balance boldness with restraint and invite the wearer to make them their own. The result is a festive wardrobe built around contrasts, where polished tailoring and sensual details come together in a celebration of modern evening dressing.
