& Other Stories is launching a capsule collection with Swedish designer A-S D\u00e5vik for AW14<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Launching in London only last year, & Other Stories is one of our favourite stores on the highstreet. But, for AW14, a storm of contemporary elegance is brewing in the shape of Swedish designer A-S D\u00e5vik. In collaboration with & Other Stories, she has created a collection of everything from ready-to-wear pieces to shoes and accessories, with each piece embedding her idiosyncratic aesthetic into the store.<\/p>\n \u201cMy collection shows reworked classics that offer something new. The pieces are elegant and calm, and when you look closer you discover exciting details, well-executed construction and versatility. My work is never loud, but it is never boring,\u201d promises D\u00e5vik.<\/p>\n Featuring a grand silhouette with focus on the waist, the collection is a flattering one. The graphic shapes of a coat are highlighted, while wide trousers, jackets and classic shirts are made from only the highest quality of materials. Accessories enter the frame and perfect the silhouette in the form of pieces such as a flat brim bowler hat and mannish flats.<\/p>\n But what about inspiration? Greta Garbo is omnipresent in D\u00e5vik’s design, but Georgia O’Keeffe’s life and work, as well as the ideas of Jean Arp, have all played a role in this collection. Classic and sophisticated, the collection’s palette is one of grey, cream and navy. And while it’s certainly perennial, the movement and detailing is what gives the collection its contemporary touch and captures D\u00e5vik’s signature style.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
