John Lewis launches its biggest-ever fashion collaboration, bringing iconic British brand RIXO to every store, further strengthening its premium fashion credentials. Launching 22nd October, John Lewis x RIXO is a vintage-inspired collection rooted in a shared belief that clothes should make you feel like the best version of yourself. Distinctly RIXO in spirit, each piece has been designed to be worn again and again; styled uniquely to the wearer, suited to any occasion, and timeless enough to never go out of style.
On the collection, RIXO Co-Founder Orlagh McCloskey says: “This collaboration feels like a true extension of RIXO – taking the heritage of John Lewis, leaning into its incredible archive, and bringing it to life with that RIXO magic.
For me, if you’re going to do a collaboration, you have to do it properly. It should feel as strong, if not stronger, than anything you’ve created before – every piece considered, every detail cared for, and something you feel genuinely proud to put your name to.
We wanted the collection to do the talking. We can’t wait to see women across the UK, whether they’re longtime RIXO lovers or discovering us for the first time through John Lewis, style it in their own way and make it theirs.
We feel incredibly proud to have created something that reaches a wider audience than our London stores.”
Celebrating design heritage and authenticity, the collection features an exclusive floral motif inspired by a block-printed textile from 1849, thoughtfully selected from The JLP Archive during the collaborative design process. This is the first time an archive print has been used in a John Lewis fashion collaboration. The signature print features across two dresses, a blouse, skirt and scarf.
The collection includes dresses, knitwear, blouses, jackets, skirts, scarves, shoes and bags, bringing together the design ethos of both brands, where signature RIXO silhouettes meet John Lewis wearability. New shapes and patterns offer something truly unique and special, available exclusively at John Lewis. Among them, is the hero piece The Vesper: a full-length dress finished with delicate cap sleeves and a ruffle neckline, in the aforementioned archive print.
Rachel Morgans, Fashion Director at John Lewis, says: “RIXO is an iconic British brand adored by so many, much like John Lewis, so it felt natural to create something special together. We can’t wait to reveal the full collection to our customers later this year.”
The collection will be available in all John Lewis fashion stores and on johnlewis.com, with prices starting from £65.
