Fashion collaborations have been a useful and creative beat for brands over the years, however, the steady outpour can be overwhelming to follow–especially when you consider the high-speed checkout process, delays, and web crashes associated with limited edition drops. Wary of fashion collaboration fatigue, we created a go-to list of the most exciting collabs on this year’s horizon that are worth a calendar notification. From Miu Miu’s footwear line with New Balance to Mugler’s pending fashion collaboration with H&M, there are plenty of reasons to stay in the know. Ahead, we break down the best fashion collaborations of 2023 that prove, once again, two heads are better than one.
Revisit this list periodically throughout the year as we update it with the latest in fashion news.

MUGLER X H&M
The H&M x Mugler collection created by Casey Cadwallader follows a string of designer collaborations for H&M, which previously launched successful collections with the likes of Balmain, Giambattista Valli, and Moschino. The collection debut unfolded at a star-studded event in New York on April 18th. If one thing was made clear during the buzzy launch party, it’s that the collection is catnip for trend-forward fans of the late Thierry Mugler. Runway reports include pieces that specifically pay homage to the designs of the late designer, like his vampire velvet dress.
We’re most excited for…
The catsuits, boned corsets, and more high street renditions of iconic Mugler pieces that Casey Cadwallader crafted for the collaboration.

H&M launched the collection online and in select stores on the 11th of May. Update: This collection has sold out.
MAISON CHLOÉ X ERES
In need of new beachwear before summer? Consider updating your seasonal style with elegant swimwear from the Chloé x ERES collaboration. This elevated line of bikinis and one pieces is the brainchild of Chloé creative director Gabriela Hearst and the ERES creative director Marie-Paule Minchelli. Together, they hand-selected the subdued colour palette and subtle design details that make this swimwear collection so timeless and fit to be worn for summers to come.
We’re most excited for…
The open back one pieces with U-shaped hardware.
