Victoria Beckham x Mango

Mango is turning 40, Victoria Beckham just hit 50, and together they are celebrating with a chic and contemporary capsule collection that fits squarely into both Mango’s and Beckham’s aesthetic. The resulting pieces—comprised of elevated slipdresses, lightweight tailoring, and unexpected knitwear—will be outfitting the stylish and unfussy all spring and summer long. Inspired by the 1969 Jane Birkin film La Piscine, much of the collection evokes a retro, ’70s aesthetic and French Riviera vibe. In the vein of Victoria Beckham’s personal color palette, the capsule’s hues are mostly neutral, featuring white, black, and ecru with touches of butter yellow, blue, peach, and mauve. The real stars in the collection are the thoughtful details—like a cutout on a classic button-down shirt or the manipulated stitching on a maxidress. It all feels like a natural extension of Posh’s wardrobe: Beckham’s signature flared pants come into play, as do themes of transparency and lingerie-inspired pieces. The 46-piece collection, which ranges in price from $80 to $500, is available now on Mango.com.

Simone Rocha x Crocs

If the squishy plastic, pearl, and crystal-embellished footwear Simone Rocha sent down the runway during her London Fashion Week show have been stomping through your mind since last fall, you’re in for quite a treat. The brand is finally releasing three varieties of its previously runway-exclusive collaboration with Crocs—so whether you’re an ornate bride-to-be or a girly Goth, you’ll have a new pair of kicks that will very quickly become the star of your wardrobe. Simone Rocha and Crocs’s collaboration comes in three different styles, ranging from everyday looks to outright showstoppers. There’s the Classic Clog (the one Croc fans know very well), available in black or white and decorated with that signature Simone Rocha charm. The Siren puts the Classic on a platform—literally—adding a sturdy heel and even more embellishment. The group is rounded out by the Quick Trail in black, pink, and khaki, with a more athletic silhouette, even better to contrast the flowers of crystals that bloom on the sides. All styles will be available starting April 10 on both simonerocha.com and crocs.co.uk—but act fast, because the Rocha superfans sure will.

Ganni x Paloma Elsesser

Speaking of products teased on the runway, those size-inclusive pieces Paloma Elsesser debuted during Ganni’s spring/summer 2024 presentation at Copenhagen Fashion Week earlier this year are finally making it to store shelves as well. The model has lent her hand to the Danish brand, working with Ganni’s creative director Ditte Reffstrup to create a capsule collection. The result is comprised of seven pieces—four dresses and three trousers—rendered in a deep red mesh, heavy brown knit, a black-and-white polka-dot mesh, and a gray check. Some of the dresses boast hoods, but they all feature bodice cutouts, while the pants can be worn underneath their matching dresses (as Elsesser did with the red mesh set to open Ganni’s recent runway show) or on their own. All items, of course, are adorned with Ganni’s butterfly logo charm. This collection builds on Ganni’s existing dedication to size inclusivity with products across their main collections and collaborations already offered in an extended size range of EU 32-52. The Paloma Elsesser capsule collection will be available on ganni.com, as well as in select stores across Europe and the U.S., beginning on April 17th.

Marc Jacobs x Anna Sui

Anna Sui is joining in on the continuing celebrations for Marc Jacobs’s 40th anniversary. The longtime friends and collaborators are teaming up for the third time, bringing back the cartoon versions of themselves, first conceived by illustrator Will Broome in the early aughts, as Miss and Mister Marc. This time, the duo is placed on a Marc Jacobs classic—the Snapshot bag—their white, rounded faces drawn on either side of the brand’s logo. The collaboration also features a green and white, limited-edition varsity jacket. This one is void of Broome’s cartoons, but is covered in custom patches, including those featuring Marc and Anna’s respective initials, an “84,” representing the year the brand launched, and stars climbing up the left arm. “There is nothing better than creating with a friend,” Sui said in a statement about the collaboration, which will be available to shop on marcjacobs.com and annasui.com on March 28th.

Louis Vuitton Men’s x Tyler, the Creator

Pharrell Williams is bringing his friends and family into the fold at Louis Vuitton as the recently-appointed creative director of menswear. After composing the soundtrack for Louis Vuitton’s fall 2022 men’s show, musician Tyler, the Creator has been invited back—this time in an even larger capacity: to conceive a spring 2024 men’s capsule collection for the brand, available now on louisvuitton.com. Tyler’s preppy tilt is clear within the collection, which boasts cable-knit sweaters, knee-skimming shorts, and matching sets. While the pieces are relatively trans-seasonal, spring is represented in the form of colors, with sky blues and pastel pinks brightening up deep chocolate brown and black, choices that deliciously evoke a Parisian patisserie. The iconic LV emblem is also re-introduced here, this time hand-drawn by Tyler. Paired with sketches of the artist’s own Airedale Terriers, daisies, and even some food items, the patterns in the collection add a touch of whimsy often associated with Tyler. “My main focus was making things I would wear all the time,” Tyler said in a statement. “I dress the same in a meeting as I do a performance or grocery store trip, so hand-drawing the monogram felt like the perfect balance to me.”

Pamela Anderson x Re/Done

The denim brand Re/Done has always had a thing for the ’90s: they got their start by tweaking the fit of old pairs of Levi’s to suit modern tastes. Now, they’re partnering with Pamela Anderson, the ultimate ’90s It Girl, on a capsule inspired by some of her favorite off-duty style staples from that decade. The collection includes light wash jeans made from upcycled denim, cheeky graphic tees and cropped hoodies made from organic cotton, and vegan apple leather patches—Anderson is an avid environmentalist, hence the focus on sustainable materials. The full collection is available on Re/Done’s website today.

Veneda Carter x Timberland

Timberland is an iconic label all on its own—but add stylist and jewelry designer Veneda Carter’s exacting eye to the mix, and the outerwear brand gets a whole new look. Just two years ago, the L.A.-based creative released her first collaboration with Timberland: a shiny patent-leather version of the brand’s classic 6” wheat boot, a silhouette that’s been a staple in Carter’s personal wardrobe for years. The style—which the Internet quickly dubbed as the “glazed doughnut boot”—was an instant hit. “It has been so exciting to see how many people the shoes speak to,” Carter says. “Even those who have never worn Timberland before are wearing these shoes.”

Thanks to the success of the first collection, Carter and Timberland have partnered once more, introducing three new styles in what is becoming her collab signature—patent leather. The 6” boot will now be available not only in wheat patent leather, but in black patent leather as well (a fierce colorway already worn by the likes of Drake). But what Carter is most excited for in this second iteration is the new zip-boot heel: a silhouette inspired by a 2019 Timberland Poshmark find that barely cost Veneda $20. The design gives Timberland fans a touch of sleek elegance and elevation. Timberland x Veneda Carter Drop 2 will be available to shop at flagship Timberland® stores and online, as well as select retailers on Tuesday, March 5th at 8 AM EST.

La Ligne’s Anniversary Archive Collection

American fashion brand La Ligne is celebrating its seven-year anniversary by giving back to its fans. Ahead of the milestone, the brand’s cofounders Meredith Melling, Molly Howard, and Valerie Macaulay presented over 30 archival styles and allowed consumers to choose their favorites. Now, the winning seven styles are being reissued in a limited-edition collection, allowing for one more chance to snap them up. Of course, La Ligne’s signature stripe is present within the collection, in the form of a half-zip sweater, black and white button-down, and more. Wardrobe staples are also at play, like a classic satin slipdress and wide-leg tuxedo pants. The collection is available now online at www.lalignenyc.com as well as at La Ligne’s bricks-and-mortar locations.

Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2024 Pop-Up

Louis Vuitton is lending its Parisian sensibility to downtown Manhattan with the opening of a SoHo pop-up celebrating Pharrell Williams’s first collection as the creative director of Louis Vuitton Men’s. The only experience on the East Coast dedicated to the collection, the Pont Neuf–themed store takes inspiration from the setting where Williams staged his first show back in June 2023. Covered almost completely in gold, the space boasts Parisian-style molding inspired by the bridge, as well as streetlamps that will transport you to the City of Light. A white and gold checkered floor pays homage to the house’s classic Damier pattern, which Williams reinterpreted throughout his spring/summer 2024 collection. Accessories, jewelry, leather goods, luggage, ready-to-wear, shoes, and trunks will be available at the shop, while a second location down the street will offer an appointment-only experience. The pop-up will be open from January 4 through mid-March with a second drop of goods coming on February 8.
