Fashion’s Hottest Collabs

BY: PROVOKR Editors

Fashion collaborations have been dazzling and some oddly dismal. They have knocked you out or left you cold. We picked our favorite, hottest 10 collabs ever in fashion.

Y-3 Adidas X Yohji Yamamoto is the real stunner as a German athletic brand is taken to a very modern Eastern influenced new world. Simply genius in every way.

Jil Sander X Uniqlo was the most amazing commitment. Jil Sander was totally devoted to the concept in all ways. She created a lower price point yet maintained high quality and executed awesome minimal designs. Total win for Sander and Uniqlo.

Stephen Sprouse X Louis Vuitton under the direction of Marc Jacobs is Louis Vuitton gone kind of punk mad yet maintaining its legendary power. This was a real act of bravery and magic. The results were stunning.

H+M X Versace was so much fun for both Versace and H+M. They created a beautiful collection and stirred in the colors and design influences from the iconic brand’s history perfectly.

Target X Missoni was the biggest success for a mass retailer and a fashion designer. It was a literal sellout everywhere. No wonder, the dedication Missoni showed to the project was in every detail, every texture, every pattern.

Junya Wantanabe X North Face sounds like a crazy idea but crazy like a very smart fox. The collection was a real bold step for North Face and the designs and materials from Junya Wantanabe were astounding.

H+M X Karl Lagerfeld was just what we expected from the master. Clearly you could breathe Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld influences in every item in the collection and pay very little for some very amazing looks.

Rihanna X Puma is the beginning of a journey to what is now the House of Fenty. Rihanna has been God given a super fashion aesthetic and artistic instincts that rule. And you just thought God gave her a voice. The collection is super modern with metallic touches and just brilliant.

Thom Browne X Moncler is an amazing collaboration. We could never have imagined the wonderful results that first walked down the runway. Thom Browne texture and suiting influences working perfectly within the Moncler world.

Matthew M. Williams X Nike was one of the first really successful breakthroughs for a collaboration. There was suddenly a new Nike reality to live in thanks to Matthew M. Williams courageous and bold use of the Nike swoosh, materials and a darkness that he brought to his interpretation of a new Nike.

The latest has Taylor Swift announcing with Stella McCartney a new collection together. I am sure the girl in all of us will be thrilled.
