Reformation has done it again. Another ‘it girl’ collaboration has hit the shelves, this time with actress, model, and all-around it girl Laura Harrier!
“Laura Harrier. What’s her secret? Can’t say, but she did create a capsule collection for you inspired by her signature style. Featuring sustainable deadstock fabrics and endless style inspiration.” – Reformation
Inspired by Laura’s signature style, the new collection features sexy-meets-sophisticated separates, dresses, and shoes.
With previous collections created with none other than Camille Rowe and Monica Lewinsky, Reformation is clearly no stranger to collaborating with iconic it girls. In turn, allowing us to explore the personal style of said icons in Ref-flavoured fashion!
From leopard-print-adorned statement pieces to beautifully draped elevated basics, Reformation’s new collection with Laura Harrier is uber-chic.

Everyone knows a well-rounded wardrobe consists of timeless and practical basics that can be worn for years to come, which is why women have come to obsess over Vancouver-founded Aritzia.
Known for its elevated and quality-crafted basics, Aritzia is where most shoppers go to stock up on well-made coats, quality tees, great jeans, tailored trousers, layering essentials, and cozy knits. And let’s not forget about the brand’s trendier pieces including the Super Puff coat, silk slip dresses, teddy jackets, and jumpsuits.
You have to admit, you probably realized you own many (or most) of these items as you read that. But for the devoted shoppers, who feel like they already own all of the brand’s essentials, they can find solace knowing there are other brands like Aritzia out there that offer similar styles, and sometimes at a lower price too!
Here are brands to shop For if you’re obsessed with Aritzia.
