Stella Love

Hattie

A dress to dance around the kitchen in.

Looks equally good with a floury apron or Faye, as pictured. Named in memory of Hattie, a wonderful woman whose turquoise kitchen my friends and I destroyed every weekend of our childhoods, making sticky buns and cinnamon lollipops. I still think of her every time I make yeast rolls, because after all this time her recipe is still the best. A role model’s dress.

Engineered Garments


We feel so privileged to be carrying Engineered Garments for a second season. We will also be one of the only stores in the U.S.A. to be carrying Engineered Garments for women! Lucky you!

Ahoy!

Ahoy there! Junya Watanabe will be sailing in soon for both men and women.



We love stripes - hope you do too.

Spring is sprouting......

At Jack Straw that is....


Dries Van Noten's new collection had an entirely primal origin: Let there be light. He'd been looking at the work of Jef Verheyen, a Belgian painter who died in 1984 (and is therefore now on the brink of a major revival), and it made him ponder the ways he could transmute Verheyen's efforts to capture light. What the designer came up with was an ombré effect, which produced some striking pieces, especially when it intersected with the collection's other key reference point—Chinese ceramics. Art and ethnology have often been Van Noten's touchstones.
