In our opinion, the best thing about & Other Stories is that it’s just a hair more polished than its mainstream fast-fashion brethren. While we fully expect to see tried-and-true runway trends at the likes of H&M, the Swedish behemoth’s smaller companion boutique is like a well-traveled cousin who just came traipsing back from Paris. You’re more likely to find those influencer-approved styles that feel straight out of a sun-lit Instagram feed, rather than pulled from the highly-produced pages of a glossy fashion magazine. This makes its sale sectionextra-rich withhidden gemsup to 70% off, a place where some of the most slept-on creations from the hip retailers’ assortment dwell.
Designed in alternate-fashion capitals like Los Angeles and Stockholm, a host of cool-girl essentials — belted workwear jackets, oversized trench coats, and lace blouses — bear a newer and more wallet-friendly red price tag. We’ve even gone ahead and rounded up our favorites from the retailer's latest array of unmissable markdowns to get you started on its latest sale. And, spoiler alert: the selection is filled with a lot of very good style staples that are ready to give your winter wardrobe a boost.

For Fendi’s spring ‘21 haute couture show, which took place at Palais Brongniart in Paris, the designer tapped original supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Christy Turlington to showcase the collection. Modeling an array of metallic evening gowns and suits, they were joined by current favorites, including Cara Delevingne, Bella Hadid, and Adwoa Aboah.
The designer also invited friends and family of the models, as well as those close to him and the brand, to join the star-studded cast for the show. Moss’s daughter Lila, who made her runway debut at Miu Miu’s show in Paris last October, modeled a sheer, studded gown, with high-rise underwear below and knee-high boots. The look mirrored her mother’s in shine: a strapless, graphite-colored gown, which was paired with a short-sleeved bolero — a big trend this season — and statement earrings. Aboah’s sister Kesewa and Turlington’s nephew James also joined, making it a true family affair.
“Fendi represents artisanal quality of the highest order, and it is all about family,” Jones said in the show notes. “It is in its third generation with a Fendi at its helm, and I am guest starring while bringing in the fourth. Here, I am surrounded by strong, powerful women who I love and respect, and want to bring their energy into what I do.”
Closing out the model roster was actress Demi Moore, a friend of Jones’, as well as Leonetta Fendi and Delfina Delettrez, Silvia Venturini Fendi’s two daughters. (Jones took the place of Venturini Fendi as artistic director, though, she still serves as artistic director of accessories and menswear.)
According to the show notes, the collection’s main inspiration was Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, the 1928 novel that also inspired the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s 2020 exhibition, “About Time: Fashion and Duration.” The 10-minute show featured an array of red carpet-worthy gowns, as well as more casual suits, which Jones designed after observing “the reality of what women around [him] were wearing,” according to Vogue. Shades of gray, silver, black, and white dominated the collection.
Given that his goal was to design a collection “reactive to the time we’re living in,” the muted scheme felt all the more appropriate, as did the slow-moving, leisurely atmosphere of Jones’ debut.

By now, it’s no secret that the North Face Nuptse coat is one of fashion’s most popular winter staples. This season alone, the puffer jacket, which was first introduced in the ’90s, has been spotted on Emily Ratajkowski and Bella Hadid, among many others. That, and it was revised for two popular designer collaborations, with Gucci and MM6 Maison Margiela — the former appearing on J.Lo, Jodie Turner-Smith, and A$AP Rocky; the latter endorsed by Hadid and Hailey Bieber. But while the popularity of the jacket has long been public knowledge, now, it has officially become the “hottest product in the world.”
According to fashion search engine Lyst’s Q4 Index, a data-driven report based on the shopping habits of more than 100 million people, both the women’s and men’s versions of the North Face signature were the top products on the site. This finding was based on the volume of social media mentions, searches, page views, interactions, and sales across thousands of online stores. The report also states that this is the first time in Lyst history that the same exact item was in the top spot for both men’s and women’s categories.
These results follow a report by Lyst in November, in which it stated that search for the North Face puffer jackets was up 150% month-over-month, while demand for the Nuptse puffer, in particular, grew by 71%.
Though this winter was especially good for North Face with the aforementioned designer collaborations, the Nuptse jacket has always had a place in fashion. Not only was it popular in the ’90s with rappers like LL Cool J and Method Man and, in later years, with celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, and more, but, in the three decades since it came out, it has become a favorite with just about everyone who lives in a colder climate. But while the Nuptse never left, this year has seen more interest in the jacket than ever before, whether because we’re spending more outdoors, as a result of the pandemic, or the highly anticipated collaborations that put the jacket back in the spotlight.
Speaking of collabs, also included in Lyst’s Q4 Index was Gucci. Just like in Q3, the Italian fashion brand was named the hottest brand of the quarter, with GucciFest, Harry Styles’ Vogue cover, and the North Face partnership being noted as the reasons for its top placement.
Unfortunately, getting your hands on a Gucci x The North Face puffer might be tricky — currently, they are not available online — not to mention, expensive — the puffer jacket worn by Lopez and Turner-Smith retails for $2,500. Snagging the even more popular Nuptse jacket, however, is easy. Shop our favorite colors of the world’s “hottest product” below — if you don’t have one already, that is.

फिल्म 'लवरात्रि' से बॉलीवुड में डेब्यू करने वाली एक्ट्रेस वरीना हुसैन भले ही अभी ज्यादा फिल्मों में नजर नहीं आ रही हों लेकिन एक्ट्रेस के स्टाइल सेंस का जलवा लोगों के सिर चढ़कर बोल रहा है। ऐसा ही कुछ हमें आज मुंबई एयरपोर्ट पर देखने को मिला, जब एक्ट्रेस की एक झलक पाने को न जाने कितनी निगाहें बेताब हो गईं।
अनीता हसनंदानी प्रेग्नेंसी पीरियड को काफी इंजॉय कर रही हैं। हालांकि, इसके साथ-साथ वह मेडिकल फ्रंट पर भी पूरी तरह से सतर्कता बरत रही हैं। इस वजह से समय-समय पर उन्हें डॉक्टर के क्लिनिक के बाहर स्पॉट किया जाता है। इस बार भी इस अदाकारा को क्यूट लुक में यहां देखा गया।
श्रुति हासन उन ऐक्ट्रेसेस में से एक हैं, जिन्हें स्पॉट किया जाना आसान नहीं होता है। ऐसे में वह जब मुंबई के एक इलाके में हाथों में गुलाब लिए दिखीं, तो वहां मौजूद पपराजीज ने तस्वीरें क्लिक करने में देर नहीं लगाई। इस दौरान वैसे अदाकारा काफी कूल भी लग रही थी।
