As a style editor for over 15 years, I’ve amassed quite a lot of wardrobe favorites from fashion collaborations — and I have to say they’re among my most prized possessions. Many of them are limited-edition, so they become special, one-of-a-kind pieces that garner the most compliments and cannot simply be purchased anywhere.
They also represent the mind-melding of two incredible creatives to produce something truly unique and inspired: think the Christopher John Rogers x Old Navy polka-dot separates I still mix and match, or the Melissa x Telfar clear bag I bring to every concert. Both carry the best elements of each brand’s work, memorialized in one (or several) coveted pieces.
Lastly, and for many shoppers, most importantly, these collaborations can make a runway designer’s aesthetic more accessible, as is the case with Victoria Beckham x Gap, Elie Saab x H&M, and so many others. Fashion collaborations are a democratization tool unlike any other, offering the same brand ethos we love from luxury houses at an affordable price.
Whether you prefer high-end fashion collaborations with mass retailers, or a celebrity model teaming up with one of your favorite brands, we’ve compiled the best of the best here for you to shop and peruse. And many we’ve tested ourselves (before launch) and can speak to our favorite pieces.

Tips for Shopping Fashion Collaborations
- It’s a game of speed. Pre-shop the collections by select your favorite items well before launch and researching reviews online and on social media to get a sense of fit.
- Decide how you’ll shop and plan in advance: sign up on the website so your account information is locked and loaded and/or assess what stores are nearby and when they open if you’re shopping in person.
- Don’t fret if your chosen items sell out quickly as people return items just as fast. One time, I went to every Old Navy in New York City and North Jersey and got my desired Altuzarra piece from a same-day return. Jackpot.
