Perhaps one of the high street stalwart’s most anticipated designer collaborations for a while, H&M has teamed up with buzzed about Korean designer Rokh for a collection that puts a spin on traditional wardrobe classics.

Reebok x Anine Bing
Blue classic nylon trainers, Reebok x Anine Bing, €220; www.aninebing.com.
Anine Bing is no stranger to a good collaboration: her collection with Kate Moss last year was not only a coup for the Danish fashion designer who started her eponymous label in 2012, it also spawned some highly-covetable collarless jackets that were veritable wardrobe classics. Now Bing has teamed up with Reebok to deliver a nostalgic collection of sportswear that harks back to the glamour of the 1980s and 1990s. A time where teaming cycling shorts and lipstick was de rigueur. The collection centres on oversized crewneck jumpers, trainers, bike shorts and joggers, all of which we can picture being worn by quintessential LA girls such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber.

Victoria Beckham x Mango
While the previews of Victoria Beckham’s collaboration with Spanish high street giant Mango have been kept to a minimum so far, the excitement has been mounting ahead of its launch on April 23. What do we know so far? The collection is timed with Mango’s 40th birthday celebrations and, according to the website, it’s “where deconstructed silhouettes meet high-quality materials, revisiting and elevating the traditional wardrobe staple with a new, modern perspective”. There are also halternecks, pleating and dramatic V-necks, according to the promotional image that’s been circulated by the brand online. In a conversation with Vogue, Beckham mentioned that she was particularly excited about the suiting and that the collection is a nod to Jane Birkin’s wardrobe in the seminal 1969 film La Piscine, with details such as crochet and swimwear nodding to the French Riviera: watch this space. Shop Victoria Beckham x Mango at mango.com from April 23.
