Intriguing and unexpected partnerships and collaborations have been part of & Other Stories DNA since its launch in 2013. For the summer of 2024, the fashion brand is launching a capsule collection in collaboration with artist Brianna Lance, known for her richly detailed watercolour paintings filled with evocative symbols and mystical imagery. The collection consists of four pieces – two kaftans, one dress, and a jumpsuit, all adorned with original artwork created especially for the collaboration, depicting enigmatic elements from Lance’s imaginative world.
My paintings reflect on hyper-feminine and hyper-mystical energies historically excluded from modern art.

What I love about Brianna’s paintings is the playfulness and intriguing storytelling that she creates. And with the most beautiful colour palette. Her work was perfect for the vision I had for this collection.

Each piece of the collection was crafted using zero-waste patterns. This pattern-making method ensures that no textile fabric is wasted during production. For example, the scraps remaining after cutting out the neckline of the jumpsuit were used to create a pocket on the same piece. Additionally, a digital printing process was used to transfer the artwork onto the items for a high-quality finish.
Brianna Lance is a self-taught artist born in Texas and based in New York City. Driven to document her ongoing subconscious and spiritual journeys, Brianna Lance paints fantastical environments that are rich in detail and spontaneous in form. After a successful career in fashion, working as a designer, creative director, and consultant, in 2020, Lance decided to change her focus to painting. She is represented by Tappan Gallery, and her paintings have been showcased at Miami Art Week, Freehand Hotel, and The Standard Hotel. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and East Hampton Star. She has collaborated with The Edition Hotels, Ciao Lucia, and The Frankie Shop.
Visionary Capsule Collection will launch on Thursday 20 June 2024. It is available globally in selected stores and at www.stories.com
