Fashion Collaborations

This year seems to be the year for fashion collaborations, we have had an unprecedented number so far. 

These lucrative deals are designed to introduce a younger clientele to some generally inaccessible designer brands.

So far we have seen: Lanvin for H&M, remember that yellow dress with the asymmetric ruffles?. 

Valentino for GAP (hard to forget the ruffled parkas)

There are some collaborations on a smaller scale out there, Celia Britwell for John Lewis www.johnlewis.http://www.johnlewis.com  where you can find an array of blouses and dresses with her signature prints. 

Terry de Havilland made the “Lydia” wedge for John Lewis.

Barbara Hulanicki (Biba) known for her 1960’s dresses has collaborated with ASDA.http://direct.asda.com/george/women-s-clothing/barbara-hulanicki-collection/

Uniqlo and Jil Sander produced some great duffel coats, shirts and wool trousers. 

Watch out for the new Spring collection. http://shop.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/plusj/women/

ASOS and Topshop have joined in capsule collections with young new designers like Louise Gray www.louisegraylondon.com. And Emma Cook for T-shirts

Other capsule collections:

Mark Fast for Pinko ( for a studio 54 style revival)

Karl Lagerfeld and Hogan.

Perhaps the oddest pairing is Giles Deacon for Happy Socks!
