- Celine fans listen up: luxury resale platform Vestiaire Collective has launched an exclusive edit of vintage Phoebe Philo pieces – while online retailer Net-a-Porter has teamed up with Jacquemus for a capsule
- The Panerai Luminor Due Prada Re-Nylon watch is another big-name collaboration – and frankly, the Gaultier x Choo boot team-up feels like it ought to have happened years ago
With winter just around the corner, we kick off our latest round-up of Style highlights with this eclectic selection of four big-name collaborations you should know – that run from the sophisticated to the sensual and even subversive.
1. Vestiaire Collective’s Phoebe Philo edit
If the buzz generated by designer Phoebe Philo announcing her own brand this year said anything, it’s that fashion lovers can’t get enough of her signature items. Luxury resale platform Vestiaire Collective has launched an exclusive edit of her rarest, most career-defining pieces, from her time at Celine, then styled Céline.
It’s a win for both preloved shoppers and vintage fashion enthusiasts, who snagged some 25,000 Philo-era items from the platform throughout 2023. To curate the 300-piece edit of Philo’s finest, Vestiaire Collective partnered with expert Philo-phile and collector La Fred Touch.
2. Jacquemus x Net-a-Porter Le Soir collection
Online retailer Net-a-Porter has teamed up with buzzy fashion darling Jacquemus for a capsule collection offering elevated evening wear essentials. If you thought black velvet was best reserved for your grandmother’s wardrobe, think again: the Le Soir range reinvents the time-tested material into something equal parts sophisticated and elegant, sexy and new. It is, after all, the brainchild of Simon Porte Jacquemus, a designer known for his viral, cool-girl quality and cutting-edge design.
Even with just hints of the seductive charm Jacquemus is known for, Le Soir keeps it cheeky and classy all at once with billowy sleeves, form-fitting silhouettes, high-slit skirts and off-the-shoulder necklines. From bags to jewellery, the collection also has all the basics covered for a girls’ night out or a date night with a loved one.
