Take Two: John Lewis x Rejina Pyo return for summer range

As we know, one successful fashion collaboration likely results in a second. So John Lewis has again teamed up with Rejina Pyo for a new 29-piece collection launching for the summer months.

Pyo’s inspiration this time centers on “the ease and natural confidence of the 1990s, referencing women who embodied a relaxed but strong femininity”.

So the “understated 90s attitude” is explored through a feeling of “lightness and fluid silhouettes”, from the decades key item — slip dresses — to casual denim, “while remaining an authentic blend of the Rejina Pyo and John Lewis aesthetics”.

Further, photographer/film director Peter Lindbergh‘s portraits “serve as a defining reference for the collection, capturing a strength that feels both playful and timeless”.

This sense of “natural, understated femininity is reflected in the off-duty style of 90s icons like Julia Roberts, particularly in the effortless way she paired sharp tailoring with simple separates”.

Versatility remains at the heart of the range with each piece designed to be mixed and matched, “allowing the collection to sit seamlessly alongside John Lewis’ curated premium portfolio”.

Pyo noted the 1990’s reference point isn’t literal “but an attitude: a quiet strength, a simplicity in how pieces are worn and lived in. I wanted to explore a sense of ease and natural confidence, something that feels instinctive rather than overworked.”

Signature Pyo details, such as oversized collars and contrast topstitching, appear throughout.

Across accessories, the hero buckle remains a focal point; the rectangle bag is updated in cornflower blue, while a new hobo shape is introduced in premium suede and baby blue leather. To finish the look, barely-there strappy kitten heels “offer a touch of nostalgia”.

The collection’s priced from £55 for a jersey top to £299 for a suede jacket and is available in five John Lewis stores as well as online at johnlewis.com.
