There’s something undeniably magical about the moments before a celebration begins. The quiet anticipation, the soft chaos of getting ready, and that fleeting feeling when everything still lies ahead. It’s this exact emotion that & Other Stories captures with the launch of Savoir, a limited edition collection designed to elevate the art of dressing up.

Crafted in the brand’s Paris and Stockholm ateliers, the Savoir collection isn’t just a seasonal drop. It’s a love letter to detail, silhouette, and craftsmanship. Bold, surreal, and unapologetically romantic, this is partywear that doesn’t shout, but softly mesmerises.

“At its core, the collection is about those intimate moments before a special event—the excitement, the joy, and the memories waiting to unfold,” says Frida Billegren, Atelier Designer at & Other Stories in a press release. “Every piece is made to feel like a treasure, playful, luxurious and timeless.”

The collection features sculptural silhouettes, unexpected textures, and couture level embellishments. One standout is a floor length, peach pink gown with delicate sequin detailing that glimmers just enough to catch the light, yet never overshadows the wearer. Elsewhere, a recurring heart motif lends the collection a touch of whimsy. A nod to timeless symbols of love, woven into the very fabric of the pieces. Quilted into a red leather mini skirt with a matching bralette, cropped across a soft tee, or peeking out as cut outs on crimson heels, the heart becomes a subtle signature throughout.

Accessories are no afterthought either. Statement earrings crafted from textiles and glass beads echo the collection’s dreamy mood, while the heart shaped cut outs on shoes feel like a wink to the past, with both feet firmly planted in the now.

Launching April 10 in selected stores and online at stories.com.
