The new fashion collabs To Know
Simone Rocha x Crocs
This new fashion collab between designer-of-the-moment Simone Rocha and Crocs is set to be right at the top of every fashion editor’s wish list. The Irish designer has teamed up with the American footwear brand on a bedazzled capsule collection of shoes that first previewed at London Fashion Week in 2023 and is now set to be one of the hottest launches of the season.
For the collaboration, Rocha has reimagined three of the footwear brand’s silhouettes – the Crocs Siren Clog, Class Clog and Quick Trail shoes – updating them with her trademark romantic style. Each shoe features Rocha’s signature pearls, crystals and jet beading, and comes in a range of colours, from black and white to pink and khaki. But if you want to get your hands on a pair, you’ll have to be quick – most of the styles sold out as soon as they dropped, but you can sign up to receive alerts for when they’re back in stock.
Café Leandra x Soeur
Following on from their first hugely successful collaboration last year, French ready-to-wear label Soeur has teamed up once again with American fashion writer and influencer Leandra Medine Cohen – aka Man Repeller – on a new capsule collection. The collab offers up a modern take on urban femininity, with eight pieces designed to see you through summer in the city.
Named after Cohen’s fashion website, Café Leandra, the collection is made up of a selection of light summer-ready pieces, ranging from an organza slit skirt and a layerable mini dress to a jersey tank top and finely ribbed polo. All picked out in tones of grey and yellow, the pieces are complemented by offbeat accessories, including a silver Suzette bag and suede ballet pumps. The result is the perfect combination of offbeat NYC style with French insouciance.
Ganni x Paloma
Ganni pulled off a real fashion moment in 2020, when plus size supermodel Paloma Elsesser first walked for the Scandi brand. Now the two come together on a new size inclusive collection that celebrates Elsesser’s transformative take on the industry. First debuted on the runway for Ganni’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, the launch will feature four dresses and three trousers, available in an extended size range up to 24.
The new collaboration underlines Ganni’s ongoing commitment to creating size inclusive clothing for its customers. As well as this latest launch, they’re also looking to increase the quantity of ready-to-wear and footwear styles available in their extended size range, bringing new options to fuller-bodied women across the board.
Ace & Tate x Ahluwalia
This partnership marks the first ever collaboration between sustainable eyewear brand Ace & Tate and London-based fashion brand Ahluwalia, which is led by the visionary designer Priya Ahluwalia. Unveiled during Ahluwalia’s Spring/Summer 2024 show, the collection taps into the eccentric energy of the London fashion scene while also celebrating the values of responsible design.
Inspired by the patterns used in Ahluwalia’s SS24 collection, two styles have been launched as part of the collaboration. The first is the maximalist Mirko frame, which has been updated with a dotted pattern inspired by the work of Baya Mahieddine, one of Algeria’s most celebrated artists. The Niku frame, meanwhile, offers a sleeker silhouette, featuring a custom-made core wire with Ahluwalia’s signature ‘A’. Packaged in an ethically sourced sugarcane box, each pair comes with paper wrapping displaying Ahluwalia’s signature prints.
Re/Done x Pamela Anderson
2024 has seen a welcome return to the fashion world for Pamela Anderson. First came her bare-faced fashion campaign for Proenza Schouler at the start of the year, and now the former Baywatch star has launched a new fashion collab with LA-based denim brand Re/Done. Inspired by some of Anderson’s most memorable ‘90s looks, it features a strappy denim mini dress, a sparkly long-sleeved version of her famous ‘Girl’ tee and The Anderson jeans – a new straight-leg silhouette designed by Anderson herself.
As well as offering a nostalgic trip down memory lane, the collection also highlights Re/Done’s green practices, which are perfectly in line with Anderson’s passion for the planet. Every product was made using eco-conscious methods, including low impact washes, recycled fabrics, California-grown regenerative cotton, apple-skin leather and untreated organic cotton.
Stella McCartney x Hajime Sorayama
Following on from their successful partnership in 2021, Stella McCartney and long-time friend Japanese illustrator Hajime Sorayama are teaming up once again on a new fashion collab. Known for his work intertwining robots with eroticism, the capsule collection combines Sorayama’s avant-garde artworks with McCartney’s meticulous design approach to create a series of playful pieces.
A range of Sorayama’s works appear in the collection, from his signature sexy robots to silver strawberries and Platinum Dream slogans. The accompanying campaign is fronted by a sultry Iris Law, who with her slicked back platinum blonde hair looks just like one of Sorayama’s creations brought to life. “I came across Sorayama’s work in the late 90s when I was living in Paris and was absolutely mesmerised by its cheeky sensuality and airbrushed quality,” said McCartney of the fashion collab. “He makes me laugh in a naughty way, and I hope this capsule communicates the playfulness and mutual admiration we have between us.”
Jacquemus x Nike
The excitement continues to build around the fashion collaboration between cult French label Jacquemus and Nike, this time with news of the latest design – The Swoosh Bag. The silhouette of the leather crossbody bag, which drops on 26 February, echoes the global sports giant’s famous logo, with zip detailing and Jacquemus branding.
The Swoosh Bag follows hot on the heels of designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’s iteration of the J Force 1 shoe, which is being released in an ’Earth’ colourway, and the Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 Pack, which was also unveiled this month in both metallic silver and white, featuring a mini version of the Swoosh that has become a signature of the collaboration. This isn’t the first time the two labels have teamed up, launching their first collection in 2022, with a new-look Nike Air Humara LX.
Swarovski x Marina Raphael
Looking for a quick and easy way to inject a little joy into your SS24 wardrobe? This is the fashion collab you need to know about. Sustainable luxury handbag brand Marina Raphael has teamed up with Swarovski on a new limited-edition collection of dazzling crystallised bags. Created as part of the popular Swarovski Creative Lab initiative, this 2024 collaboration keeps things in the family, as Raphael is a sixth-generation member of the Swarovski dynasty.
The fashion collaboration centres around the brand’s bestselling Micro Stella bag, which is illuminated with Swarovski crystals in shades of blue, pink and white. Each bag is hand-crafted in Florence by skilled artisans and covered in glittering crystals designed to catch the light from every angle. Launching just in time for Valentine’s Day and designed to celebrate love in all its forms, it’s just the thing to put a smile on your face this winter.
Fendi x FRGMT x Pokemon
To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, Fendi has collaborated with Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara – affectionately known as the godfather of Harajuku fashion – as part of their ‘Friends of Fendi’ project series. Partnering up with Fujiwara’s label FRGMT and Pokémon, some of the Italian fashion house’s most iconic handbag silhouettes have been reimagined with the yellow Dragon-type Pokémon in a playful nod to the Lunar New Year.
Full-blown leather 3D marquetry embodiments of Dragonite and Dratini are splashed across cute new Baguette and Mini Baguette bags, while a Peekaboo ISeeU in shiny white croco features Dragonair and Dratini details on the metal handle and chain strap. You’ll also find ready-to-wear pieces, key charms, rings and earrings across the collection, all of which can be picked up from the pop-up that’s currently running at Selfridges.
The Vampire’s Wife x Globe-Trotter
If you’re currently planning your next winter sun getaway or ski trip, there’s no chicer luggage to be toting this season than the ones in this fashion collaboration between The Vampire’s Wife and Globe-Trotter. Susie Cave’s cult label has brought its romantic, dreamlike lens to the storied British luggage manufacturer, to create a collection that celebrates the world of luxury travel.
The range is made up of two capsules – The Wedding Collection, which features ivory trunks, carry-ons, vanities and jewellery cases, and The Black Collection, picked out in deepest ebony. Both of them feature interiors in blood red and black sparkle velvet respectively, alongside carefully-moulded leather trims, golden brass hardware and luggage tags featuring The Vampire’s Wife’s iconic bat motif.
Malone Souliers x Philosophy
Designer shoe label Malone Souliers is no stranger to the world of fashion collaborations, having already teamed up with the likes of Roksanda and Richard Malone on dreamy limited-edition collections. Now they’re joining forces with Italian fashion house Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini on a range of sensual footwear, which debuted as part of the maison’s SS24 runway looks at the latest Milan Fashion Week.
The capsule collection, which is comprised of seven distinctive silhouettes, draws from Souliers’ signature design codes. There are curved lines, delicate straps and pointed toes, all tying in with Philosophy’s ethereal pieces. “Combining our love of exceptional design and craftsmanship, together we have created a collection that is modern, glamorous, and sophisticated,” said Malone Souliers Co-Creative Directors Coco Fong and Valerio Bava. “As always, we have enjoyed getting to reimagine our aesthetic in a fresh, directional way.”
Marfa Stance x Perfect Moment
British outerwear label Marfa Stance has teamed up with chic skiwear brand Perfect Moment to create a capsule of functional yet stylish jackets and accessories. In keeping with Marfa Stance’s sustainable and ethical production practices, every piece in the collection is 100 per cent reversible, as well as fully modular, meaning there are multiple ways to wear each piece.
In the collection you’ll find chic shearling hoods and aviator collars, as well as a toasty ski vest, but the hero piece has to be the reversible ski bomber. Featuring a cropped, slightly exaggerated silhouette and made from water-resistant nylon, it’s the perfect addition to your ski wardrobe this season to take you from the slopes to après ski in effortless style.
Kenzo x Asics
When it comes to the hottest new fashion collabs, sneaker partnerships are often right up there, whether it’s Wales Bonner’s long-running partnership with Adidas or New Balance teaming up with Miu Miu. Now there’s a new fashion and trainer partnership to add to your hot list: Kenzo x Asics.
The launch marks the first collaboration between Kenzo and the Japanese sneaker brand, which sees them creating a new version of the iconic Kayano shoe, which was first released in 1993. Together they’ve launched three genderless styles, which marry Kenzo’s colourful heritage with Asics’ technical expertise. The result is a running shoe adorned with rainbow brights and neon animal print detailing.
