B. Åkerlund & Shirley Manson for “Styling Stories” at &Other Stories
B. Åkerlund is a stylist who loves to think outside the box. Believing that there is no wrong and right in the eyes of fashion, and approaching styling as an art form, Åkerlund celebrates and welcomes personal style, always encouraging people to show their real self through the clothing they wear.
To embrace Åkerlund’s larger than life attitude, the stylist teamed up with lead singer of the UK band Garbage, Shirley Manson, as part of luxury high street brand, & Other Stories’ “Styling Stories” (you can see previous stories here).
With Manson’s bright red hair, and both Manson’s and Åkerlund’s larger than life personalities, this collaboration is a force to be reckoned with. Shot like a documentary-snapshot, Åkerlund took the shoot to her Los Angeles studio, where she definitely put the “B.Åkerlund Touch” on selected items from the & Other Stories Celebration Collections. Turning six dresses into one, adding floor length fringes, and other avant-garde customisations, Manson and Åkerlund took to the Hollywood Blvd to showcase the looks, and offer a glimpse into the world of a top fashion stylist.
Jump into the festive season with the new Celebration Campaign, launching online and in stores during November 2013. The B. Åkerlund Styling Story showpieces will be displayed in selected & Other Stories locations.
