This month’s latest collaborations are getting us ready for the festive season of winter breaks and party occasions. Whether you fancy a sprinkle of Tiffany this Christmas, you’re planning your outfits for apres-ski or browsing for inspiration on how to wrap up this Winter, we have it all!
Givenchy x (b)STROY
We are loving the freshness of the Givenchy x (b).STROY capsule collection. (b).STROY originating in Atlanta is a now New York based underground clothing brand which places great emphasis on futuristic possibility and contemporary art. The creations of the collection are inspiring and thought provoking.
Inclusivity, innovative materials, details, and silhouettes are core to this collaborative collection. All products capture the flair and experimentation Givenchy and (b).STROY tried to establish for the collection.

The collab features styles of cropped hoodies, Moon Cut-Out shoulder bags, and slim-fit t-shirts. Denim is central to this collection as well as embroidered patches which mark the collab of the two brands.
Tiffany and Co. x Andy Warhol
Many moons ago, Tiffany and Co. asked Andy Warhol to create a series of festive-inspired illustrations for greetings cards. The cards were used for the next six years, until 1962, and have since only lived in the memories of those present during the time. Until now.
Tiffany and Co. have decided to give Warhol’s designs a new lease of life this Christmas with his drawings coming to life once more on homeware, Christmas cards and ornaments. We think the limited-edition collection of charming designs would even impress the Grinch and fill Scrouge with Christmas cheer.
Showcasing the holiday Warhol collection in their Christmas party campaign, Tiffany’s selected none other than Hailey Bieber to play host. The campaign shows the action of Hailey Bieber hosting and gift giving at her party while the work of Warhol appears across the screen in amongst mountains of their iconic blue boxes. Hailey also wears her Tiffany pieces in the campaign which sparkle under the party lights.
Burberry x Minecraft
We really are living in the digital age. Burberry has partnered with Minecraft to create an in-game experience as well as physical products to buy in-store and/or online. ‘Burberry: Freedom to Go Beyond’ captures the future of fashion as reality and fantasy cross paths in a unique style.
The creation of a ‘Burberry Realm’ in the Minecraft world is available for players to download and explore in an immersive fashion. This fantastical world has inspired the collection of garments available for real life purchasing, which we are really excited about.
Burberry has given their products a digital makeover for this special collaboration. Within ‘Burberry: Freedom to Go Beyond’ their jacquard scarf has a pixelated element to its classic design. Other items feature their logo pixelated and famous Minecraft symbols are subtly placed on sweatshirts and t-shirts. We are definitely excited to find out what the future holds for Burberry in the digital realm if this is their beginning.
Dior x Thebe Magugu
Dior has launched a capsule collection in collaboration with South African designer Thebe Magugu. The collection benefits CTAOP (Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project), which aims to advance the health, safety and education of young people living in Southern Africa.
Fashion designer Thebe Magugu attained recognition in 2019, winning the LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize and then became a finalist in the 2021 International Woolmark Prize. So, it is no surprise to us that this collection speaks volumes. The collection comprises of black, dark blue and yellow which pair really well, creating the designs to pop in an edgy manner. Products feature an incorporation of Magugu’s illustrative designs and Dior’s logo. We love the use of materials in this collection as tulle and silk create elegant silhouettes which convey the delicacy of the pieces.
Miu Miu ‘Private Wishes’ Collection
‘Private Wishes’ is the new Miu Miu collection we definitely do not want to keep private. The latest holiday collection places emphasis on contrast and contradiction. The collection is defined as feminine and masculine, reflects reality as well as imagination and relies on playfulness as well as function. The mixture of garments features oversized as well as miniature styles, dominating statement black or white options and pearls along with shearling.
Photographed by Tyrone Lebon, the campaign features Esther McGregor, Mona Tougaard and You-mi Lee. Glitter heels, reflective materials and feather details are all showcased in the new holiday 22 campaign. The campaign captures the simplicity of the collection and at the same time portrays the essence of desire.
Louis Vuitton Ski Collection
The new seasonal collection from Louis Vuitton focuses on practicality which is essential for Winter sports without sacrificing style. Where performance meets fashion, you can find the LV Ski collection.
Wrap up in scarves and beanies -available in monochromatic and neutral colours- which would spice up any Winter outfit. Or if you are getting ready for the Ski season the collection has all you need. Athletic-styled thermals and monogrammed jackets are sure to keep you warm on the slopes this year as well as stylish. No need to worry about the snow with Louis Vuitton’s selection of snow boots and puffer jackets. We love the collection’s presence of quilted bags and garments, the touch of shearling and flecks of retro influence.
