& Other Stories Unveils a New Chapter Under Jonathan Saunders

/

& Other Stories Unveils a New Chapter Under Jonathan Saunders text Natalia Muntean & Other Stories steps into a bold new era this fall. Under the creative direction of newly appointed Chief Creative Officer Jonathan Saunders, the brand introduces a refreshed identity marked by a new logo, tone of voice, and a more expressive approach to design and styling. The transformation debuts with the first chapter of the Fall 2025 collection, presented in a campaign photographed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch. “The Fall campaign celebrates real clothes for everyday experiences, designed to inspire individuality. The new brand identity combines nostalgia with modernity and signifies an exciting new chapter for & Other Stories,” says Saunders. Saunders’s debut collection draws on references from the 60s, 70s, and 90s, reimagining wardrobe staples through progressive silhouettes, lived-in textures, and technical fabrics. There is a sense of ease throughout, with styling that embraces individuality: bomber jackets paired with corduroy trousers, knitwear layered over pencil skirts, tailored miniskirts with revived bow blouses, and oversized wool coats draped over slouchy denim. Playful contrasts define the palette, with vibrant shades of pink, ultramarine blue, and lemon yellow punctuating the season’s more grounded hues of earthy brown, charcoal, burgundy, and black. The silhouettes merge sharp cuts with relaxed tailoring, bringing together the elegance of the 60s and 70s with the laid-back spirit of the 90s. Textures heighten this interplay: fuzzy mohair, croc-effect leather, jacquard, and corduroy evoke nostalgia, while Italian wool suiting and technical nylon outerwear add a contemporary edge. Accessories continue the dialogue between past and present, from 70s-inspired sunglasses and bowling-style leather bags to chunky gold necklaces and belts worn cinched over knitwear. Loafers and Chelsea boots nod to Mod heritage, while oversized teddy bags soften more structured looks. The Fall 2025 campaign introduces models Thea Almqvist, Xaria Carter, and Sihana Shalaj, styled by Isabelle Sayer, with art direction from JL Studio and executive production by Sylvia Farago. Together, they bring to life Saunders’s vision of modern nostalgia, setting the stage for a new chapter in & Other Stories’ evolution.

Evolving Times – Dr. Denim Autumn/Winter 2025

/

Evolving Times – Dr. Denim Autumn/Winter 2025 text Natalia Muntean Denim has always been more than fabric. It’s memory stitched into cotton, the sound of youth in motion, the feeling of belonging to a generation yet entirely your own. Few garments carry such a quiet universality, and yet such potential for reinvention. With their Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, Dr. Denim leans into this paradox of timelessness and evolution. The brand, rooted in Gothenburg’s mix of raw industry and creative independence, presents a season that feels familiar yet subtly restless, always in search of the next shape, the next shade, the next story. Classic silhouettes reappear, but never unchanged. The Dash jean remains a loyal companion, while newer fits like Omar and Donna embrace wide, relaxed volumes. Washes, too, tell their own tale: a pared-back rinse wash designed with low environmental impact sits alongside the audacious Stream Riot, a spectrum of colour that feels almost like denim in conversation with light. For women, the introduction of Ary, with its bold, straight cut and Nanci, a modern barrel fit, add dimension to the already beloved Echo. The newcomer Rhue, with its soft flare, seems to nod to the past while insisting on the present. Together, they create a vocabulary of shapes that speak to individuality without losing the Dr. Denim DNA. But denim is only part of the narrative. Jersey takes on a new subtlety this season, with hoodies and crewnecks marked by a discreet embroidered “Dr. Denim Scribble” a gesture that feels almost like handwriting, intimate and understated. Knitwear, meanwhile, becomes a laboratory for texture, experimenting with yarn and technique to create pieces that carry both ease and expression.www.drdenim.com
