Building a capsule wardrobe of quality staples has never been so important, and it’s a skill that proves pivotal to compiling the ultimate collection of layers as we enter into winter. Thankfully, The Iconic has made it that much easier to build said wardrobe with the eagerly-awaited launch of & Other Stories, a cult international label that cites the likes of Selena Gomez, Meghan Markle and Emma Roberts as fans.

“We are thrilled to launch together with The Iconic,” says & Other Stories concept director, Shawna Trunk. “We cannot wait to see how women in Australia and New Zealand embrace & Other Stories and make our pieces their own.” Boasting womenswear, footwear and accessories, the brand’s beloved styles are designed across ateliers located in Paris, Stockholm and Los Angeles.

Here, Trunk shares her guide to the brand’s best styles in an effort to help you kickstart your collection, courtesy of The Iconic.

“When it comes to sweaters there is one piece in particular that I consider a staple and that is the striped sweater. This one specifically gives the classic style a modern twist with its boxy shape. You can mix and match it with a variety of bottoms such as jeans, tailored trousers, skirts or slung effortlessly over the shoulders. This versatility allows you to create multiple stylish and classic looks with minimal effort.”

“This dress is one of my favourite pieces from the collection. The simple yet flattering shape and bold statement lace makes it the perfect dress for an occasion allowing you to leave a lasting impression. Comfort is a top priority for me when it comes to clothing, especially when picking a dress to wear to a special occasion and this dress delivers in that regard. One of my favourite qualities about this dress is the adjustability aspect with smocking at the back of the bodice, allowing it to tailor to your body.”
