We've barely reached the first quarter of 2025, and it seems there's been a designer collab a week. From Louis Vuitton's re-edition of their iconic Murakami collection (with Zendaya as its face, no less) to Beyoncé's Levi's denim drop, this year has already been off to a strong start when it comes to high-profile fashion partnerships.
Fashion collabs are often a way for brands to tap into new demographics or expand existing ones. Sometimes, a high street brand might partner with a designer to elevate their offering, whilst giving the designer a wider reach (we're ready to pounce on the UGG x Ambush collection that just dropped), while other times, brands collaborate because they share an aesthetic universe. When avant-garde fashion house Maison Margiela announced another limited collection with cult Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster, for example, we couldn't help but feel their ongoing partnership just makes so much sartorial sense.
With so much happening all at once, we know it could be rather overwhelming to keep track of all these exciting capsules, so below we've collated the best 2025 designer collab you need to know. Happy shopping!

The fashion set went wild when Louis Vuitton announced the re-edition of the era-defining 2002 collaboration with artist Takashi Murakami earlier this year, which saw the French Maison's iconic bags adorned with the Japanese artist's colourful cartoons. This March, the second drop has arrived with more styles like the City Bags and footwear, including sneakers and platform sandals sprinkled with Murakami's cherry blossom motif, which was one of the most enduring styles of the first collaboration.

Featuring 20 eyewear styles including eight sunglasses and 12 spectacles, the partnership between these two avant-garde labels has proven successful in the past year, leading to yet another much-anticipated drop. Futurism being a big part of both brands' DNA, the frames are imbued with ultra-sleek elements from blue lenses to super-narrow silhouettes, an exploration between “human and cyborg.”

Already one of the most popular trainers of 2025, FENTY's latest drop with PUMA – which features the sleek Avanti LS in retro hues like cobalt blue and neon yellow – are flying off shelves thanks to Rihanna's street style appearances. Queen RiRi demonstrated just how versatile the new shoe is, wearing them with denim and tulle skirts alike. We'd hurry up and get a pair if we were you!

Following their partnership on Ahluwalia's spring/summer 2025 runway, Pandora has collaborated with London-based fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia on an exclusive range of engravable jewellery, with designs paying homage to Priya’s dual Indian-Nigerian heritage. ‘Paisley Print’ is inspired by Indian embroidery, for example, while ‘Flower of Nigeria’ represents a Costus Spectabilis, the flower Nigeria; and the ‘Joy’ print appears again on the distinctive ‘Map of Africa’.

Sofia Richie Grainge lends her all-American aesthetic to an exclusive capsule with iconic American label Tommy Hilfiger, entitled Sofia for Tommy. “Tommy is a true icon of style,” says Sofia. “He is someone I’ve looked up to as a designer and a creative force ever since I started working in the fashion industry. I’m so proud to introduce a collection that embodies effortless sophistication for the everyday." The capsule includes 24 pieces inspired by archival preppy silhouettes and vintage nautical flags.

For her second drop with Levi's – entitled ‘Pool Hall’ (which reinterprets Levi’s iconic 1991 ad) – Beyoncé transforms the denim brand's enduring staples, including the Ribcage Wide Leg jeans, the Braided Vest, and the Spade Trench using custom embellishments to make them fitting for a pop diva. “There isn’t another wardrobe piece that evokes comfort, modern elegance, classic Americana attire, and nostalgia the way denim does,” she says. “And when I think of all those things, I think of Levi’s.”

Partnering with historic Spanish footwear label, Etro created a capsule of beautiful shoes just in time for spring. The Italian fashion house's iconic paisley print and arnica fabrics are combined with Castañer's classic silhouettes, creating espadrilles, flats and sling-backs that are as comfortable as they are stylish.

According to the Lyst Index, UGG has climbed its way up the cool ladder this year, becoming one of the top 10 hottest brands in 2025 in no small part thanks to clever collaborations with fashion labels with cult followings of their own. This season, that label is AMBUSH, founded by creative director Yoon Ahn – best known for her distinctive jewellery and ready-to-wear designs. The collaboration sees Yoon reimagine two timeless silhouettes, the Mary Jane and penny loafer. Available in two colours each, they add a bit of fashionable furriness to UGG's utilitarian styles. “I want the collaboration to bring comfort to the reality of everyday life,” Yoon says. "Personally? I love Mary Janes and loafers and wanted to create a more relaxed version of them with UGG. These styles are versatile and can match many looks, from casual to dressy.”

Remember the Adidas Taekwondo trainers that sold out in minutes? Thankfully, luxury British label Stella McCartney has launched their own take on the martial arts-inspired trainer – and they come in 2025's hottest hue to boot. The Adidas Rasant trainers, named after the German word for “rapid”, are a nod to the iconic Monza trainers of the ‘70s and ’80s and made their debut on Stella McCartney's spring/summer 2025 runway. The collaboration is also entirely vegan and strives to push the limits of innovation with high-performance sportswear materials with lower environmental impacts.
La DoubleJ x MOTHER Denim
What do you get when an eclectic Milan-based brand partners with a crowd-favourite denim brand? A 30-piece capsule of whimsical prints sprinkled onto denim trousers and jean jackets that combines California cool with Italian glamour. Think heavily-embroidered jackets with 70s-inspired archival prints and cut-off shorts with iron-on badges.
Courtesy of the brandle Sportsac x Roberto Cavalli
You can now find Roberto Cavalli's popular animal prints on LeSportsac's lightweight bags, thanks to the two Italian giants' latest collab – the first of their four-season collaboration for spring 2025. The durable, lightweight craftsmanship of LeSportsac gets reimagined with the unapologetic glamour of Roberto Cavalli under the stewardship of creative director Fausto Puglisi to make tiger-print backpacks and zebra puffer bags. School runs never looked so chic.

Unexpected but oh-so-right, Maison Margiela and Christian Louboutin have come together on a shoe collection that merges the DNA of these major iconic French houses. Margiela first tapped the shoe brand, best known for their iconic red soles, for their couture spring 2024 show, but the two brands have decided to launch a commercial capsule that put Margiela's cult Tabi split-toe designs on Louboutin's elegant stilettos.

First seen on the spring/summer 2025 runway, Cecilie Bahnsen finally dropped this much-anticipated collaboration with The North Face on March 13. The perfect fusion of femininity and function, the partnership sees Scandi designer Cecilie's signature 3D floral motifs stamped onto the mountaineering brand's utilitarian duffles and drawstring boots. Needless to say, both balletcore and gorpcore girlies will be lining up for this collection.
Simone Rocha x Crocs
Looking to jazz up your gorpcore looks this spring? London luxury label Simone Rocha's third drop with Crocs is officially out, having first been shown on the spring/summer 2025 catwalk last September.
The new capsule features the new Fisherman Stomp Sandal silhouette, using the exaggerated Crocs style as a base, and adding on Simone's signature crystal and pearl embellishments. There are also brand new colourways of beloved Siren silhouette so there's sure to be something for everyone.
Sydney Sweeney x Hey Dude
Leave it to Sydney Sweeney to make a staple loafer look chic. HEYDUDE's effortless Austin Lift slip-on mule gets a cool makeover courtesy of global ambassador Sydney Sweeney. The last we checked, dad loafers are trending for spring and these platform styles in all-American colourways like washed denim and leopard print make for the perfect easy go-anywhere shoe.
Anya Hindmarch x Mr. Muscle
Known for her unexpected collaborations and tongue-in-cheek projects (we can't wait for the all-flavours ice cream shop to come back this summer)—British label Anya Hindmarch surprises its fans once again with a small accessories drop with Mr. Muscle, just in time for spring cleaning. Crafted from shiny capra leather and designed with vintage artwork the Mr Muscle Charms make for super fun additions to a bag or keychain. The capsule even comes with the iconic slogan – 'Loves the jobs you hate'.
Beats by Dre x Sandy Liang
Beats by Dre latest fashion collab is with emerging New York Fashion Designer Sandy Liang who has made her mark on the newest Beats Solo 4 headphones. The chic headphones feature her own hand-drawn pink ribbon design across the headband and matching pink “b” logos, with custom packaging including a pink 3D-sculpted ribbon of Sandy's design.
SLNSH x Lululemon
London label SLNSH has partnered with athleisure juggernaut Lululemon on a line of ready-to-wear and accessories. As a dancer and choreographer himself, designer Saul Nash has always brought movement into his designs and shows. The Lululemon collab sees him sprinkle his streetwear influences onto tracksuits and handbags alike.
“This collection encourages people to step outside of what they think activewear is, when it can be worn, and who wears it,” said Saul Nash. “It pushes wearers to explore it from a new lens.”
“Saul has an innate understanding of our DNA, taking our technical fabrics and construction methods into his world to produce a collection that stands at the crossroads of performance and style,” said Jonathan Cheung, Creative Director, lululemon. “Saul is clearly a prodigious talent and it's been inspiring to work together. We're really proud of this first SLNSH collection.”
Sandro x Louise Bourgeois
French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, best known for her monumental spider sculptures and spiral patterns, has collaborated with contemporary brand Sandro on the perfect spring capsule. Evelyn Chetrite, Founder & Artistic Director of Sandro, has always been a fan of Louise’s work, and has tapped the artist for a series of summery pieces featuring flowing shirts, trousers, airy dresses, a skirt, hat and bag. Natural materials are used throughout the capsule, such as linens, printed cotton poplin, and silk twill.
Once you've gotten your hands on the capsule, be sure to check out Louise Bourgeois’ Maman Spider sculpture at the Tate Modern this spring, making an appearance for the gallery's 25th anniversary.
Marks & Spencer x Olivia von Halle
For Mark's and Spencer’s first nightwear collaboration, the high street label has tapped London's best-known luxury pyjama label Olivia von Halle to create a sophisticated line of sleepwear at an affordable price point.
Olivia von Halle reworked three iconic prints to feature within the limited-edition, 10-piece capsule: the classic stripe, the cat print and a feminine floral pattern.
“When I was a child, my mother hated shopping - with the exception of M&S,” says Olivia von Halle. "It was the one place she would go to and as a fashion hungry teenager I looked forward to our visits with huge excitement. From those very early childhood trips, to being fitted for my first bra, a trip to M&S has preceded many exciting milestones in my life and so it was an honour to collaborate with them on this limited-edition capsule collection. They are an icon of the British high street, and I feel so privileged to be able to play a small part in that ever-evolving legacy.”
Acne Studios x KAPPA
A sporty designer collab that had more than a few of us drooling at the office, cult fashion brand Acne Studios has partnered with Italian sportswear brand KAPPA on a 22-piece collection for spring 2025. Think trackpants and other athletic silhouettes lined with KAPPA's logo that take inspiration from retro football outfits. There's even the Bowlina bag, first spotted on Acne Studios’ SS25 runway, given a graffiti update.
“I have always loved Kappa," says Jonny Johansson, Creative Director of Acne Studios. "Rebels wear Kappa, which appeals to me – it’s sportswear for the cool kids. In a world where the lines between classic workwear, streetwear, ready-to-wear and sportswear are blurred, it feels totally natural for Acne Studios to collaborate with Kappa on a collection that represents a modern way of dressing."

Barbour x Crocs
In a collab we're all surprised doesn't already exist, British heritage and lifestyle brand Barbour partners with Crocs on a first-ever, limited-edition collection. The lineup features outerwear, a clog, wellies (of course) and nine Jibbitz charms, the personalisation badges synonymous with Crocs. In keeping with the countryside chic aesthetic, the pieces will have a tartan graphic print, chosen to match the iconic tartan liner of Barbour jackets. The result is a range that perfectly marries the DNA of both iconic brands. “With practicality and a love of the great outdoors at the heart of both brands, this playful new collaboration is a fun way to celebrate that shared foundation,” says Ian Bergin, Director of Barbour Menswear.
Rimowa x MYKITA
Two pioneering German brands have joined forces on an exciting collab this spring that celebrates technical prowess and design. Luxury luggage brand Rimowa, renowned for their lightweight and stylish suitcases have partnered with innovative eyewear brand MYKITA who are best known for their minimalist frames. Together, they've created an ultra-lightweight collection of aluminium glasses meticulously handcrafted at MYKITA HAUS in Berlin that are a timeless blend of form and function.
“Rimowa and MYKITA are two innovative German brands with deep technical expertise in their respective fields,” says RIMOWA CEO Hugues Bonnet-Masimbert. "Both known for recognisable design features and innovative use of materials. With shared values on durability and craftsmanship, fusing our emphasis on movement with MYKITA’s focus on vision was a natural fit.”
