I’m Nordstrom’s Associate Fashion Director, and One of My Favorite Brands (Aligne) Just Landed—These 3 Items Will Be Fall Staples

As Nordstrom‘s associate fashion director, Linda Cui Zhang is responsible for guiding the retailer’s style direction. Essentially, if she thinks something is cool, it is cool. She is also known for her trend-forward and inspiring personal style. She wears a variety of labels, but one brand that’s been consistently on her favorite list is Aligne, which is designed in London. Yes, the label is now available to shop at Nordstrom.

“What draws me to Aligne is their ability to balance bold, directional design with wearability and accessibility. Their pieces feel elevated yet effortless—something our Nordstrom customer truly values. Aligne’s commitment to strong silhouettes and thoughtful tailoring resonates with the modern woman who wants to make a statement without compromising comfort or quality. It’s exciting to partner with a brand that’s redefining contemporary fashion in such a fresh and inclusive way,” Cui Zhang told us.
