There’s nothing like a good fashion crossover and April sees quite a few of them. Swot up on the best designer collaborations happening right now …
Ganni X New Balance
Taking inspiration from the casually dressed fashion community of Copenhagen, Ganni’s Ditte Reffstrup has collaborated with New Balance to lend a ‘Ganni’ take to the iconic New Balance 2002R sneaker.
Nodding to Y2K dressing, the runner/city sneaker hybrid will come in two colourways and feature a Ganni logo designed exclusively for the collaboration. A first for the brand will be the range of sizes available – the collection will have genderless sizing up to an EU size 45.
The Ganni x New Balance collaboration unites both sides’ passion for environmentalism, too. Creating the collection, they worked to New Balance’s Green Leaf Standard, meaning each sneaker is made from more than 50 percent recycled content in the upper shoe, with a five percent regrind rubber outsole – a style and environmental win-win. Available from 13 April via Ganni.com and Newbalance.com.
La Veste x Gucci Vault
Purveyor of the perfect collared-blouse, La Veste is the latest fashion brand to collaborate with Gucci Vault, the new Gucci concept store.
Created by Alessandro Michele, Gucci Vault is an experimental online space that “explores vintage styles, hand-picked brands and goes into the metaverse”. Other brands currently selling on Gucci Vault include Rave Review, Wales Bonner and Collina Strada.
As part of the collaboration La Veste has reissued some of its sell-out pieces that are veritable Instagram catnip, including its collared Blackboard shirt and gingham print School Pants. The collaboration is available now through Gucci’s Vault website – although you’ll have to move fast if you want to nab a piece.
Loewe x On
Loewe has collaborated with running brand On, for a collection that “blends centuries-old artisanal practices with high performance innovation and sustainability”.
The unisex collection consists of pieces made for adventuring and includes moisture-wicking jersey T-shirts, hooded shell jackets and degradé sweatpants – all imbued with the Loewe logo, of course. Perfect for those sportswear devotees keen for something a little bit extra. Get it on Net-a-Porter.com.
