Loewe × Suna Fujita
Loewe / Suna Fujita ceramics studioA second pass that earned the rank — Anderson handed the brief, not the brand. The work itself is the editorial.
- 02
Sacai × Nike Vaporwaffle return
Sacai / NikeThe collab that proved the franchise has years left. Chitose Abe got the colour negotiation she didn't in the first round.
- 03
Margiela × MM6 split-archive drop
Maison Margiela / MM6An internal collaboration — same house, two voices. The numeric lineup didn't need the partnership; the partnership needed the lineup.
- 04
Bottega × Tabi
Bottega Veneta / Maison MargielaNot the collab anyone asked for; the one that resolved a decade of brand-Twitter circling. The split-toe lineage is the story.
- 05
Loewe × Studio Ghibli (Howl's Moving Castle)
Loewe / Studio GhibliA four-year licensing thread that closed at the right house. The merchandising stays restrained where it could have shouted.
- 06
Carhartt WIP × Maharishi
Carhartt WIP / MaharishiThe deepest cut of the quarter — two technical houses making a coat that reads as neither. Hardware-first.
- 07
Dazed × LN-CC Print Drop
Dazed Magazine / LN-CCA magazine "drop" sold like a sneaker, with the runway logistics to match. Free copies, no RSVP, downtown Manhattan, warm spring evening. Filed.
- 08
Jongjin Park × Loewe Craft Prize
Jongjin Park / Loewe Craft FoundationThe steel basket that won the Craft Prize this year. Loewe's patronage continues to be the most consistent collab the house runs.
- 09
Phoebe Philo × A.P.C.
Phoebe Philo / A.P.C.The first collab from the second Philo era. Six pieces, no marketing. The point is restraint, the point is always restraint.
- 10
Oliver Laric × Marsotto Tiles
Oliver Laric / Marsotto EdizioniTile design that responds to gaze — Laric's only physical collab this year. The marble itself becomes the editorial subject.
