COLLABS WE LOVED AND GUESS WE MISSED?

April 2nd, 2025

In today’s fashion landscape, collaboration is the currency of innovation. Whether it’s nostalgic nods or bold new frontiers, these partnerships blend storytelling, identity, and design into something far more than just hype. This season, we’ve seen everything from reinvented accessories to global lifestyle statements—all through the lens of creative crossovers. So here’s a closer look at the collabs that made us double-tap, daydream, or wish we’d gotten the drop.



Jacquemus x Neiman Marcus: “Le Bowling”
Minimalism met leisure in this understated yet striking collaboration. “Le Bowling” isn’t your average capsule—it’s a curated vision of retro recreation, filtered through Jacquemus’ signature lens of playful chic. Think sun-drenched lanes, refined silhouettes, and a soft color palette that feels just as luxurious as it does laid-back. Neiman Marcus helped deliver the full experience, reminding us that fashion can be a destination—and in this case, it’s at the lanes.

Baklava x New Balance: “Untitled Citizen of The World”

Few collabs feel as rooted in philosophy as this one. Baklava, the brainchild of A$AP Nast, joined forces with New Balance to create a sneaker that speaks to mobility, identity, and rugged style. Dubbed “Untitled Citizen of The World,” this release draws on nomadic themes and global storytelling, marrying functionality with an aesthetic that’s equal parts utilitarian and visionary. These kicks weren’t just made for walking—they’re made for moving through cultures and carving out space.

Coperni x Tamagotchi: “Swipe Case”
Who knew nostalgia could be this wearable? Coperni and Tamagotchi’s unexpected fusion takes the digital pet obsession of the early 2000s and literally builds it into a sleek, futuristic phone case. The “Swipe Case” brings together the high-tech sensuality of Coperni’s design with the pixelated cuteness of a Tamagotchi—yes, a functioning one. It’s the kind of piece that turns heads and sparks conversation: a literal handheld memory, reimagined for the now.

A.P.C. x Asics: “Tennis Collection”
Serving clean lines and sporty sophistication, A.P.C. and Asics teamed up for a drop that channels tennis-core energy with undeniable polish. Think elevated basics, neutral tones, and lightweight materials perfect for a rally or a coffee run. It’s the kind of collection that doesn’t scream for attention but effortlessly earns it. Classic silhouettes meet performance-ready function, all wrapped in A.P.C.’s timeless French refinement.


Kith x Adidas Football: “World Cup”
This one’s for the fans. Just in time for World Cup fever, Kith and Adidas dropped a collection that bridges the energy of global football culture with the detail-driven approach Kith is known for. From elevated jerseys to lifestyle pieces that double as streetwear staples, the collab doesn’t just celebrate the sport—it reinterprets it. This is football fashion that feels fresh, not forced.
 Whether drawing from nostalgia, sport, or global identity, these collaborations have something in common: they each bring a strong point of view to the table. These aren’t just product drops—they’re conversations in fabric, rubber, and memory. And while some flew under the radar, they all pushed boundaries in their own way. Fashion keeps evolving, and with collabs like these, we’re excited to keep watching where it goes next.
