Keyword of the season? ‘Collab’. Celebrities, designers and editors have all lent to the game of sketches and capsules, and here’s our round up of the upcoming efforts to bag.

Carine Roitfeld Paris x Uniqlo
Supervised by artistic director of Uniqlo, Naoki Takizawa, the capsule consists of 30 items from stylish outerwear to feminine innerwear. We've yet to see a glimpse of the end products, so in the meantime, we can always fall back on her documentary, Miss C.
Available late October.
5/9
Lemaire x Uniqlo
After leaving - to everyone's surprise - Hermes a year ago, Christophe Lemaire signed for a beautiful collection with Uniqlo. Elegant and sexy, we welcome the democratisation of the Lemaire style.
Available from October 2.

Beyoncé x Topshop
Since the announcement of the joint venture between the British streetwear label and global superstar, fans have been waiting patiently for the new retailer, named Parkwood Topshop Athletic. While we still haven't seen as much as even a sneak peek at campaigns or products, press releases have mentioned that the collection will include fitness clothing and accessories that centre around sports and dance.

9/9
Rihanna x Puma
The jaw-dropping campaign has already hit our shores, seen on the shopfronts of Puma outlets islandwide. The ambassador and now creative director for the women's collection is set to leave her signature touch on some existing pieces as well as a host of new products to hit the racks.

What do Balmain, Carine Roitfeld and Beyoncé have in common? Collaborations, of course! Indeed, more and more frequently, the creative brains of brands invite a personality in the ranks of artistic directions for a season, or even longer. Together, they give birth to exclusive collections that combine the horizons for everyone.

Obviously this is a golden opportunity for designers to merge their worlds with the DNA of a public figure to the brands. Ex-Hermes creative director Christophe Lemaire will show us how to enjoy winter with Uniqlo, while megastar Rihanna surprises with Puma. And as they have done year after year, H&M invited yet another designer to create a mass-appeal collection – this year’s lucky winner is Olivier Rousteing of Balmain, and his runway to high street price points are sure to set you hyperventilating.

Look out for these upcoming high-profile collabs to hit the racks this year!
