We love when our favorite brands collaborate together to make awesome lines of clothing and accessories. It is especially exciting when a high-end brand partners with an affordable one like Target or H&M. Late last year, rumors were flying about upcoming 2013 collaborations but now that we’re past the start of the new year, we are finally able to see which ones were true and which were false. We’ve created a list of the five best style collaborations that are coming out or have already been released. Read on to see what collaborations we think are most lust-worthy for 2013.
Keds for Madewell
Polka dots, florals, white eyelet; what’s not to love about Keds’ latest collaboration with Madewell? The preppy brands have teamed together (for a third time!) and have provided us with this playful new collection. The shoes come in five spring-ready patterns with prices ranging from $62 to $72. As if we didn’t need another excuse to buy new shoes!
DVF for Roxy
We’d love to hit the beach this summer with a bikini from Roxy’s DVF line. There’s nothing better than sun, sand, surf, and a bold Diane von Furstenberg print. This collection, DVF Loves Roxy, will keep you looking cool on those hot summer days. Along with two-piece and one-piece swimsuits, the line features other beach necessities such as cover-ups, beach bags, and board shorts. Items in the collection retail from $38 to $88.
Chris Benz for Cambridge Satchel
You’ll be classy and stylish with a Chris Benz Cambridge Satchel. The famed designer worked with Cambridge Satchel to create a seemingly perfect accessory. These two-toned bags come in a new square style and will be available in nine different colors. The beautiful bags are perfect for any spring outfit. Just imagine toting one of these pastel pink bags with you as you stroll down the street after a day of vintage shopping. (Obviously this new collection and Boston’s cold winters have us daydreaming of spring!) Prices and locations on where you can purchase these bags have yet to be released.
Kate Young for Target
Oddly enough, Target has become a collaboration king. After crazy successful collaborations with high-end brands such as Missoni and Jason Wu, Target is back with a collection done by Kate Young. Young has said that old Hollywood was a big inspiration in this collection. Expect to see beautiful formal pieces, stellar shoes, and classy accessories with a price range of $14.99 to $89.99. Kate Young for Target will debut on April 14 but we’re betting that the collection will sell out fast so start pre-planning your retail attack!
Milly for Banana Republic
Walking into an interview with a new Milly for Banana Republic dress on will surely boost your confidence and earn you some style points. Michelle Smith’s collaboration with Banana Republic will debut in May. What can you expect from this 60-piece collection? Summery dresses and separates decked out in pretty Milly prints. What has us most excited is that the pieces will have retail prices in the $39.50 to $175 range. Prices like that surely beat the $500 price tag you’ll find on Milly items at Neiman Marcus.
