Loewe x Paula's Ibiza#
Date
April 20
Verdict
As one of the most documented collabs across the luxury scene, Loewe x Paula's Ibiza has become an annual, hotly anticipated tie-up that celebrates Ibiza's bohemian heyday and paradisal hedonism. This time round, the Paula's Ibiza basket-style bag — which took over beaches everywhere when it first dropped — returns in new shapes with handcrafted details, perfect for sun-drenched evenings on the island. Though there hasn’t been much engagement across China’s socials as of yet, the collection is making strides across the West thanks to its campaign featuring famous faces such as Emily Ratajkowski and Spanish music artist Bad Gyal.
Saks x Jacquemus#
Date
April 21
Verdict
: With summer fast approaching, it's Jacquemus' time to shine. The label has released its "Été" capsule collection alongside iconic luxury department chain Saks, available exclusively via the latter's website and flagship Fifth Avenue location. Featuring men's and women's ready-to-wear, handbags and hats, the drop serves as an ode to the French Riviera. Customers will no doubt be scrambling to get their hands on pieces from the lineup, especially as Jacquemus was recently named one of fashion's hottest brands of Q1 2023 by The Lyst Index.
Our Legacy x Denim Tears#
Date
April 25
Verdict
: Silver-studded denim and velvet formalwear are the standout pieces from this collection, which commemorates the life and legacy of American rapper Tupac Shakur, who was killed at the age of 25 in a drive-by shooting in 1996. Celebrity collabs crop up by the dozen nowadays, but this latest partnership is different: Tremaine Emory’s Denim Tears and Swedish streetwear label Our Legacy have teamed up with the Shakur Estate to honor the artist's style identity. Dubbed "Tupac Tears Legacy," the collab reimagines a number of Tupac's fashion looks, including his classic leather pieces and engineered boots. It received over 56,000 likes when it debuted on Denim Tears’ Instagram account last week.
