KANYE WEST/KIRKWOOD/STELLA McCARTNEY & MORE DESIGNER COLLABORATIONS OF 2011

SUPER EXCITED ABOUT ALL THESE COLLABORATIONS FOR 2011. I’LL BE SURE TO LET MY FOLLOWERS KNOW WHEN EXACTLY THEY’LL BE RELEASED. BE ON THE LOOK OUT 🙂

Kanye West x Everyone
West has showed a penchant for eclectic collaborations with his single, “All of the Lights,” which
features everyone from Kid Cudi to–wait for it–Elton John! For 2011 the self-proclaimed fashion lover needs to expand his capacity for fashion collabs beyond the legendary Air Yeezy sneakers to shoes with Toms, khaki’s with J.Crew, furs with Fendi and beyond!

 

Nicholas Kirkwood x Pleaser Shoes
What with his new store in London’s posh Mayfair neighborhood and all, it’s clear that Kirkwood is a class act. But life has taught us that every now and then, there’s nothing wrong with stepping into your smuttier side. Hence: Kirkwood x Pleaser Shoes. Pleaser, loved by the best “exotic” dancers you’ll ever meet, is accomplished at creating patent and Lucite platform numbers. Croc-trimmed Lucite heels anyone?

Mary Katrantzou x Marimekko
‘Nuf said.

But we’ll elaborate: The Central Saint Martins grad who is already legendary for her prints and the historic Finnish label, already legendary for it’s prints could be …

Stella McCartney x Reece Hudson
Lux leather and rich colors are the hallmark of what makes up-and-coming accessories line Reece Hudson so dope. Sexy, sophisticated design and a strict aversion to leather are what make Stella McCartney dope. Like a carnivore married to a vegan, a collaboration between these two could lead to an interesting–if not permanent–union.

Jeremy Scott x Public School
Jeremy Scott epitomizes a quirky urban style sensibility to begin with. For 2011 why not go all the way with a collaboration with one of the chicest urban brands in town, Public School? Denims that fit just-so with a leather crotch could be a site to behold.

Norma Kamali x Nike
“Ni-Li” if you will. Afterall, all those soft, draped jersey body suits are just as good for a night on the town as they are for a day at yoga. A lining here, a mesh insert there and you are set to be the most stylish student in your work out class. We’re just saying: Just do it!

Lacoste x LeSportsac
There’s no major impetus for this besides the sheer joy of alliteration that comes with saying
Lacoste and LeSportsac. Ditto the opportunity to call this collaboration, La’Sportsac. But our witty way with words aside, this could make for one of the lightest–and brightest–gym bags known to man.

Nina Ricci x Theory
Is this too much to ask of the universe? Perhaps. But that won’t keep us from dreaming. Taking
Olivier Theyskens’ new Theory line and designing an evening wear collaboration between Nina Ricci and Theyskens new eponymous line at Theory could be an instant best seller. We imagine Etta James softly cooing her signature song at the private editor preview. After all, art and
commerce have united. At last.
