The most awaited fashion collaboration in 2023

From the previewed collections of Louis Vuitton and pop art artist Yayoi Kusama, to the exclusive capsules presented at the latest fashion shows, here are the most stylish and anticipated international collaborations for 2023.

Louis Vuitton X Yayoi Kusama

The French label, belonging to luxury group LVMH, has reunited with pop artist Yayoi Kusama, after their first collaboration ten years ago. For this second chapter, which was originally unveiled during the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2023 fashion show, the Japanese artist has painted his psychedelic polka dots – forming hypnotic patterns – all over the Louis Vuitton monogram, on bags, shoes and even perfume. In the Paris luxury brand’s dream gallery, called “LV Dream”, the label showcases its reinvented trunks for bold fashion collaborations that seduce contemporary art. The pieces, which have been available for pre-order in China and Japan since January 1, will go on sale worldwide on January 6 at all Louis Vuitton stores.

Ganni X Esther Manas

Forget summer bodies! For the spring-summer 2023 collection presented last October at the Palais de Tokyo, Ester Manas unveiled looks worn by models of all sizes and announced a future partnership with Ganni, a Danish minimalist fashion label. A collaboration that is decidedly inclusive and democratic, such is the philosophy claimed by the French-Belgian duo Ester Manas and Balthazar Delepierre. A white T-shirt with two hands clasped to form a heart and several shoe styles (mules, moccasins, sandals and studded clogs) signed by the Scandinavian label were previewed during the show. The two brands then left some hints about their alliance on social networks. Continued…

Agung X Balenciaga

American Tremaine Emory, who has been Supreme’s creative director since last February, has teamed up with luxury label Balenciaga to design an exclusive collection of ready-to-wear and footwear. Here again, the beginnings of this collaboration are revealed on the catwalks during Paris Fashion Week on October 2, in a white ripped and flocked T-shirt with the Spanish-born designer’s house name, thus mixing streetwear and high fashion. The capsule, slated for spring 2023, echoes a previous collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2017, in which Supreme stamped his name on bags, denim jackets and even skateboards.

Longchamp X Fatboy

With a collection of colorful oversized inflatable poufs based on the “Le Pliage” canvas bag model, Longchamp and furniture brand Fatboy laid the groundwork for “glamping,” the glamorous version of camping. This accessory, available in candy pink, apple green, and carrot orange, can be taken to the deck or beach and is made entirely of recycled polyester and covered in LWG (Leather Working Group) certified leather. The Summer Capsule will be available in the Longchamp e-shop starting February 7th.

Masquespacio X Monoprix

French chain Monoprix, created in 1932, has teamed up with Spanish interior design firm Masquespacio for a summer collection, accented with anise green and pastel pink, inspired by the world of 1980s pop. From women’s wardrobe to plates and fruit bowls, the capsule includes approximately 50 pieces of ready-to-wear, tableware and home accessories, all featuring geometric prints. The capsules will go on sale on March 29, and Monoprix promises a colorful summer with another collaboration due to launch in May, designed with Lisa Gachet’s label, Make my Lemonade.
