Everywhere I look on social media over the last couple of months there has been talk of highly anticipated highstreet x designer collaborations.
One in particular that caught my eye today, was the colourful and quirky Sophia Webster’s collaboration with US giant JCrew. To be released early May, this exciting collaboration sees Webster’s beautiful stilettos embellished with an array of fresh patterns and prints that correlate with JCrew’s latest Spring/Summer collection. Sophia Webster is an outstanding British Shoe Designing talent, with awards and high-profile jobs with people such as Nicholas Kirkwood and a flagship store in the pipeline for the near future. Her aesthetic is bright, eclectic and very fairytale-esque, which is the making of fantastic statement shoes. Prices for this highly sought after collection are around £200-£400, so put aside some cash ladies, you can’t let these shoes walk away without you!
And as i mentioned previously, this is not the only exciting collaboration due to hit stores in the near future. Kate Moss has reprised her role as a designer at Topshop, releasing the new collaboration on 30.04.14. Certainly not a new face in the Topshop Studio, Kate has had several collaborations with Topshop, but it has been said that this is the one she is most proud of. All her hard work has paid off and I can’t wait to see the amazing pieces she has come up with!
And to finish, H&M blew the Coachella stage by announcing a coloration with the legendary Alexander Wang! H&M has collaborations with Lanvin, Isabel Marant and Versace under their belt, but Wang’s is sure to be a showstopper! His talent of making the most gorgeous pieces look effortlessly sophisticated will be a joy to see at a high street level – bring on November!
High Street x Designer Collaborations are a fantastic way of bringing the talent and quality of high end labels to a bigger audience, letting the young high street shoppers have a taste of the good life. Designer on a student budget is always a struggle so a big thumbs up for the amazing high street brands and the show-stopping collaborations! My wardrobe wouldn’t be the same without you!
