Trophy pieces from the & Other Stories x House of Hackney collection

Trophy pieces from the & Other Stories x House of Hackney collection

You may not be familiar with current & Other Stories collaborator House of Hackney – it’s their first fashion collaboration after all. If not, there are two things worth noting about them. Firstly, one of the founders, Frieda Gormley, is Irish, and secondly it’s one of the hippest interiors brands around. Based on trendy Shoreditch High Street in London, House of Hackney has been providing luxury fabrics, wallpapers and home accessories to cool creatives since 2010. It developed a massive cult following almost immediately; its maximalist aesthetic works perfectly in the elaborate period properties that populate London’s suburbs.

Now you can have a touch of House of Hackney’s unique style in your wardrobe, with the launch of its collaboration with high street favourite & Other Stories. Dense floral patterns anchored by deep shades of mustard, purple and black define the 24-piece collection. It’s bohemian, it’s brave and it comes with its own zodiac chart! Visit & Other Stories, click on your star sign and discover what pieces suit your personality. Here’s a couple of the trophy pieces to whet your appetite.

The colour combinations of this one-shoulder dress give this piece a beautifully exotic vibe. The oversized frill at the top of the dress is mirrored by the longer-length hem frill, creating a really well balanced piece.

Floral asymmetric dress, €125

Co-ords are becoming more and more popular and really they are just another version of a jumpsuit (but easier to slip in and out of!). This trouser suit offers a gorgeous colour palette, layering up different shades of blue.

Blazer, €125, and trousers, €95

This printed tunic is a perfect summer throw-on. Over a swimsuit or jeans, it will add softness and fluidity to your look.

Tunic, €79
