Our Favorite Collaborations from Fashion Month SS25
There’s a reason we saw the controversial New Balance snoafer on the runway at Fashion Week first. Arriving in collaboration form with Junya Watanabe, the divisive silhouette made its debut at the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 show in Paris — generating hype, gauging a reaction most importantly: offering the brand an opportunity to analyze its potential before it even released.
Fashion week is full of opportunities. For influencers and content creators, it’s a place to show off their street style. For fashion writers and buyers, it’s a place to get inspired. But for brands and designers? It’s a place to debut not only new collections but also to tease and preview new collaborations, testing their viral potential and audience interaction.
As a result, the fashion week circuit has become an intrinsic part of the collaboration roll-out plan, often playing host to new team-ups and partnerships. This Spring/Summer 2025 season was no different, and even just halfway through, we’ve spotted a tonne of major team-ups that we’re already obsessed with.
From BIMBA Y LOLA and Palomo Spain at New York Fashion Week to part three of Simone Rocha‘s Crocs takeover in London, there are plenty of collabs to add to your wish lists, with even more still to come. Scroll down to see some of our faves from the season so far.
BIMBA Y LOLA x Palomo Spain
During Palomo Spain’s NYFW runway show, the brand debuted a second collaboration with BIMBA Y LOLA, following their first team-up back in Fall/Winter 2023. Merging delicate silhouettes with clashing prints, heavy leathers and furry jackets, the loud new offering aimed to present a “powerful vision of the woman,” through exaggerated styles and vibrant hues.
Simone Rocha x Crocs
In London, Simone Rocha stole our hearts (and our savings) with the third iteration of her cult-loved Crocs collaboration. Focusing on new colorways of the Siren Heeled Clog, the collaboration also debuted the Simone Rocha x Crocs Stomp Fisherman Sandal, adorning the chunky silhouette with pearls and crystals and showcasing new hues of hot pink and beige.
Nensi Dojaka x Calvin Klein
Nensi Dojaka also debuted a new collaboration for LFW, teaming up with Calvin Klein — a partnership that was teased ahead of the show. Fusing Calvin Klein’s signature lingerie construction with Dojaka’s gossamer-thin organzas, the collaboration resulted in barely-there bodysuits, delicate bras and sheer dresses in a rich color palette of black, white and burgundy.
Ancuta Sarca x Clark’s Originals and Ancuta Sarca x Crocs
Romanian designer Ancuta Sarca previewed not just one, but two unexpected collaborations during LFW, joining forces with two cult-loved footwear brands, Crocs and Clarks Originals, for the first time. Chunky Crocs clogs arrived in new hues and materials, complete with metallic buckles and toggle detailing, while the Clarks Wallabee was unrecognizable, landing in a pointy kitten heel iteration in a range of colors.
Chopova Lowena x ASICS
This season, Chopova Lowena teamed up with ASICS to recreate several versions of its GEL-Quantum 360 VIII silhouette. Adorned with metal spurs found in the garden alongside metallic studs, the shoes also arrived in a Mary-Jane style, some of which were designed purely for the show, with others actually available for purchase via Dover Street Market.
MAINS x Kickers
Skepta’s MAINS teased a collaboration with Kickers ahead of the show, making the official debut on the runway. Featuring a range of Kick Hi boots in various colorways, the collaboration saw the classic silhouette reimagined with a slider back and faux fur detailing.
Sinead Gorey x Converse
Sinead Gorey recreated the great British prom for SS25 and what better footwear companion than Converse? In the words of Demi Lovato, who said I can’t wear my Converse with my prom dress? Not Sinead Gorey, that’s for sure. The London-based party girl and designer debuted a range of knee-grazing Chuck 70 XXHi’s, All-Stars and Chuck 70 Wedges.
