H&M’s beloved European-only brand Cos and its new label & Other Stories may soon make their way to the United States, according to the retailer’s US president, Daniel Kulle.

“Everything is in the works and the plans,” Kulle told WWD. “& Other Stories has the potential with other H&M brands to come to America. . . We can also take Cos, which has 70 or 80 stores. Cos for sure will be in America. We’re looking for an opportunity to open Cos.”

The Swedish chain announced on Friday that it has major plans to expand H&M’s presence in America. It has some 2,800 stores across the world, but only 269 of those are here in the United States. Forty of the stateside stores were opened last year, and there are currently plans for another 10, including locations in Boston, San Francisco, and Waikiki. It will also bring its home collection to a few stores, including the new Boston location, New York, and New Orleans, this year. Those goods will be available to buy online this Summer, when H&M plans to launch ecommerce in the United States.

“For me the best thing is knowing that someone really has your back,” says Jenna Lyons in an interview for the March issue of V Magazine. Also in the issue is result of Lyons’s first public photo shoot with her partner Courtney Crangi, a black-and-white portrait of the duo shot by Willy Vanderperre. In it, both women wear white shirts (Lyons’s is from J.Crew, naturally, while Crangi’s is from Rag & Bone) and both rave about each other.

“Like no matter what happens she has my best interests at heart,” Lyons says of Crangi. “I think there are a few moments in life where that actually happens, and that feels, like, completely true and real.”

Crangi repays the compliment, saying “I think the most amazing about Jenna, although there are many amazing things about her, is really her grace under pressure. She’s just incredibly gracious at all times.”

Lyons has certainly borne the increasing attention to her personal and professional life with grace. Just last month she opened up about her work and her relationship with Crangi to The New York Times. But what better way is there to announce one’s love to the world than a photo in a well-known magazine?
