And anyway, it doesn't matter your style because, as Anne Klein put it so beautifully: "clothes are not going to change the world, the women who wear them, yes."

Pumps with pink Malabar hairs, raffia mules, denim clogs, chic cowboy boots à la Dolly Parton… As for bags, it sends it bag galore with, always, the Pichard clasp that goes well…
& Other Stories is still one of those “universe brands” that we call “label”, but, unlike its sisters, it was not born from the fertile imagination of an intellectual creator. It is the product of a fast fashion juggernaut: H&M. It was in 2013 that the Swedish group, not very Catholic in ethics, unveiled its new project, the story of boxing in a more elite court and of restoring an already well-tainted coat of arms.

Many thanks to the good fairy Marie-France Cohen for having the kindness to co-found this cool (and huge) concept store.
