Ever wonder why collaboration is important?
2022 is already shaping up to be greater when it comes to new partnerships. Fashion infused with wit and style always finds a place in our wardrobes. Just when you thought fashion couldn’t be more inclusive it gives you a thousand reasons to prove you wrong.
Here are some brands who have worked together, always ready to give us a stylish year ahead:
Adidas x Prada
The powerhouses of sportswear and high fashion are back with a third instalment of their inimitable partnership. Instead of focusing solely on trainers, the duo will be releasing their first ever capsule collection of co-branded apparel and accessories, centered firmly around sustainability.
Pieces were designed with stripes and the emblematic Prada triangular enamel plaque, items from this collection will only come in black and white or all-black. Clothing, leather goods, and accessories will retail from $995 to $2,480, the Pradidas Car Coat made entirely from Re-Nylon being the most expensive.
Barbie x Balmain
The French fashion house has teamed up with none other than Barbie to create a playful limited-edition collection, with the emphasis firmly on fun. Several of Balmain’s signature bags have been melded with Barbie packaging to create quirky hybrids, while badges, t-shirts and hoodies have been designed to combine the doll’s distinctive aesthetic.
In addition to the clothing, three NFTs dressed in Balmain and exclusively from Mattel Creations will be up for bidding.
Dior Vibe x Technogym
As part of their Dior Vibe line, the Maison is launching a series of pop-up stores to showcase their sleek new range of sportswear. Featuring bold patterns – including the instantly-recognizable Dior Étoile and Oblique prints – across leggings, sports bras and anoraks, the collection also includes accessories, shoes and bags. Working out has never looked so chic.
The duo has released a series of limited-edition sports equipment, ranging from a treadmill and workout bench to an exercise ball, emblazoned with the Dior star.
Iris Apfel x H&M
The legendary Iris Apfel’s Spring collaboration with H&M was filled with feelings full of pure bliss and satisfaction.
The collection celebrates her through an assortment of eclectic ready-to-wear and ornate accessories inspired by her over-the-top looks and her larger-than-life personality, and we all know that designs are always in vivid prints, opulent fabrics, and campy jewelry. Generations have looked up to Iris for ageless fashion inspirations.
Reebok x The Jetsons and Flintstones
Sneakers are at its best again with Superkicks. The collaboration is inspired by Hanna-Barbera’s 1987, made-for-television animated film that brought The Jetsons to The Flintstones’ hometown of Bedrock, in addition to seeing The Flintstones travel to The Jetsons’ world of Orbit City.
This collaboration brought the beloved futuristic and prehistoric characters into the modern world through a lifestyle footwear and apparel collection.
