For today’s Fashion Friday I want to chat designer collaborations.
Three collabs debuted this week; each with a unique twist.
Rejina Pyo x & Other Stories
This is my favorite of the three. I’m a huge Rejina Pyo fan and this collection didn’t disappoint. I’m loving the beautiful dresses for summer and amazing shoes. Inspired by nature, this collab gives the strong feminine vibes I’ve come to know and love from Pyo.
Prices range from $29 – $249… and it’s selling fast.
Gucci x Balenciaga
To celebrate their 100 year anniversary, Alessandro Michele went into the archives and pulled inspo from originator Guccio Gucci and Tom Ford for his Aria collection.
There were strong equestrian elements – lots of horsebit motif – but the kicker was his “Hacking Lab” with Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia. Suits emblazoned with both logos donned the runway. With each house under the Kering umbrella, it wasn’t surprising, but it did turn heads. Personally, a designer collaboration of this caliber should, but my heart didn’t flutter. I’ll save that for Dries Van Noten x Christian Lacroix.
Canada Goose x Bill Nye the Science Guy
Bill Nye is joining the luxury outerwear brand to advise them on sustainability. I think it’s fabulous and my inner geek is rejoicing. It got me thinking of other fun potential PBS celebrity collabs. If Bob Ross were still with us, I totally see a Valentino collab!
