Lark & Wolff

UO’s designer collaborations aren’t always something to get excited about, but sometimes, just sometimes, something comes along that’s a little bit special. Earlier this year I was in love with the simplicity of Kim Gordon’s line Mirror/Dash and now I’m head over heels again, this time for Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan. I’m not terribly familiar with Alan’s clothes but after reading his own collections described as artfully dishevelled classics, I was immediately inspired to discover the UO collaboration pieces. Lark & Wolff is everything I look for in clothes; simple, short lengths, dark colours, plaids, stripes and ruffles. Modern collides with vintage and scatters all over the past century. Or as UO put it, contemporary style through a vintage lens.





I bought the blue apron dress when it went on sale and just adore it. My next purchase was going to be the navy dress but unfortunately it’s already sold out in xs. I can't wait to see what comes next.
