Each Fashion Week brings its share of unexpected collaborations. This season, the capsule collections spotted in Paris share a common goal: blurring the lines between genres, worlds, and purposes. Here’s a closer look at the most striking collaborations.
Cahu x K-Way: PVC reinvented
The French brand Cahu, founded by Clémence Cahu (a graduate of Atelier Chardon Savard), joins forces with K-Way for a capsule collection that triggers a desire to get away. Known for its bags made from recycled PVC canvas, Cahu brings its functional DNA to a line designed for both city life and escapes beyond the concrete jungle.
Among the standout pieces: an XXL travel bag and an ultra-trendy baguette version, wearable in two ways thanks to its double straps. The collection was unveiled along the canal, an open invitation to get away… without ever really leaving the city.
Veja x Vibram: responsible from sole to soul
The ethical brand Veja has teamed up with Vibram, the benchmark in sole technology, to create the Salar: a sturdy, technical sneaker designed to handle both Parisian pavements and mountain trails.
Available in four colorways, this new model combines Vibram’s performance expertise with the eco-friendly materials that define Veja. To celebrate the launch, the brand hosted an immersive event at its headquarters, featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the manufacturing process and a live concert by artist OKLOU, who wore the grey version of the Salar.
A collaboration that confirms Veja’s ambition to broaden its horizons, without ever compromising its core values.
Ganni x New Balance: the 1906L, in its maximalist form
The Danish label Ganni reimagines New Balance’s 1906L in a bold, maximalist version. This hybrid pair stands out with a yellow snakeskin print. A signature motif of the brand and a striking detail: a jewel on each shoe, sealing the collaboration.
During this Fashion Week, Ganni also showcased its Spring-Summer 2025 collection, infused with the childhood memories of its creative director, Ditte Reffstrup.
Marc Jacobs x A.P.C: back to school
September goes hand in hand with back-to-school season and this collaboration between Marc Jacobs and A.P.C. captures that spirit perfectly. Born from a friendship dating back to the 1990s between the two designers, the capsule pays tribute to classic collegiate style. Crest-embroidered sweatshirts, striped polos, raw denim jeans and skirts, brown loafers…a complete student wardrobe. A nostalgic, easy-to-wear collection for both men and women.
Winter through the eyes of Martine Rose and Napapijri
When British designer Martine Rose meets Napapijri’s outdoor DNA, the result is a technical collection with a streetwear edge. Fleeces, parkas, striped tees, each piece plays on contrasts.
To mark the launch, the two brands took over the KITH concept store in Paris’s 8th district, underscoring the scale of a collaboration that shakes up the conventions of outerwear.
Stüssy x Wales Bonner: under the West Coast sun
California label Stüssy and British designer Grace Wales Bonner, best known for her collaborations with adidas unveil a radiant collection inspired by both preppy style and surf culture. Two seemingly opposite worlds that find common ground on a Los Angeles beach.
Special mention goes to the printed T-shirts featuring photographs by artist Nana Yaw Oduro, adding an artistic dimension to the capsule.
Sacai x Carhartt WIP: where opposites meet
Since 2023, Sacai and Carhartt WIP have been pushing the boundaries of workwear style. This new capsule continues the conversation with a stripped-down color palette but a wide range of cuts, finishes, and volumes.
Deconstructed utility jackets, technical fabrics, military references, Carhartt’s precision meets Sacai’s aesthetic experimentation in a collection that has already won over audiences.
Through these collaborations, an entire generation of brands are exploring new techniques. Beyond simple logo swaps, they tell stories of cultural crossover and genuine creative affinity.
