"This is one of my favorite pieces," luxury designer Joseph Altuzarra says, singling out the Scarf Maxi Dress from his Old Navy x Altuzarra collection, which marks the third installment of Old Navy's American designer collaborations, following partnerships with Anna Sui and Christopher John Rogers.

Treating it "like a capital 'F' fashion," Altuzarra reveals he approached the Old Navy partnership the same way as his eponymous ready-to-wear label. "I often start my own collections with a book as the inspiration," he tells us. "I had just read 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Pride and Prejudice.' I really imagine this collection on a windswept Scottish moor," he adds.

Old Navy x Altuzarra blends the theatrical storytelling of Altuzarra's collections with Old Navy's heritage, transporting you to the rolling hills of Scotland, weaving Victorian literary references into a thoughtful fall wardrobe of velvet floral dresses, Fair Isle sweaters, and embroidered barn jackets.

"There’s this slight 90s grunge feeling to some of the collection. I love the idea of these tiered skirts that are windswept and feel a little bit bohemian," says Altuzarra. Casting Alexa Chung in the campaign ensures the grunge undertones won't go unnoticed; after all, no name is more synonymous with Indie Grunge.

Alongside Chung's cool-girl aura, Altuzarra brought a certain "controversial" runway trend to Old Navy: balloon pants. "This was something that we introduced in our own collection," Altuzarra clarifies, in his S/S 26 runway. "I love the idea of bringing it to the Old Navy customer," the designer adds.

A first for the Old Navy collaboration series, Old Navy x Altuzarra features matching women's, girls', and toddler pieces. "I have kids. So I was excited to be able to create some pieces for two of my kids, for the girls," Altuzarra shares.
