& Other Stories Sets London Store Opening Date

H&M has set a date for its & Other Stories London shop opening - 12pm on Friday March 8. The store will be housed at 256-258 Regent Street in a listed building with a second entrance on Argyll Street.

"We're very excited to open our first store in the heart of London," said & Other Stories boss Samuel Fernström. "Regent Street is synonymous with fashion and a perfect place to start sharing our stories."

The two-floor space will house accessories, jewellery and ready-to-wear, in addition to dedicated shoe and beauty departments. The label's online store stories.com will launch on the same day.

"Our diverseness comes from building collections around different fashion stories," said & Other Stories head of design Anna Teurnell. "Ranging from masculine tailoring to feminine chic we're offering our customers endless styling choices."

House Of Holland Launches Charity Collection

HOUSE OF HOLLAND has teamed up with eBay to create a limited edition capsule collection, with all proceeds going towards Cancer Research UK. The four-piece range features a colourful rave wave print, taken from the label's autumn/winter 2013-14 collection - which will be showcased in full on Saturday February 16.

"This is the second season that I'm working with eBay, having initially worked with them coming through the BFC's Fashion Forward scheme," said Henry Holland. "The capsule collection has been inspired by my autumn/winter 2013-14 collection and I am excited to take House of Holland to a wider audience and bring fans a key print from my upcoming show early."

The offering comprises a T-shirt bearing one of Holland's witty slogans; a figure-hugging dress; tights and an iPhone case - for those who aren't quite ready to try the label's daring new print. The collection will go on sale exclusively on ebay.co.uk on Saturday February 16 at 7pm and will run until midnight on Sunday February 24.

"Cancer Research UK is a charity that is very close to my heart - I am always keen to support them in any way I can and am thrilled the proceeds of the collection will be going to them," said Holland.
