These days, the high/low collabs seem to come and go with little fanfare. Has the concept lost its novelty or are we tired of being underwhelmed by the final product? While there was chaos around the Kate Moss for TopShop collection, little has been said about many other recent team ups, like Alexander Wang for UNIQLO, Philip Lim for Gap, Tara Subkoff of Imitation of Christ for Bebe, Richard Chai for Target… Proving that shoppers aren’t yet completely tired of the trend, Urban Outfitters has now joined the ranks of the high end to high street collaborations. The retailer has commissioned Geren Ford, Steven Alan and Paul & Joe Sister to design mini collections for the chain. Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe Sister Masaao Jacket - $208 Rendez-Vouz by Paul & Joe Sister Impetueux Top - $128 Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan Shirt Dress - $78 Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan Toggle Coat - $148 Hawks by Geren Ford Silk Top - $88 Hawks by Geren Ford Round Neck Dress - $88 While I try to stay away from super-cheap big box retailers (as a former independent boutique owner, I could write a book about how I feel these mega-stores are killing the independent fashion industry), I have to admit that I the designer collaborations pull me in. I can’t wait for H&M collection by Comme des Garcons due out later this year!
