The best designer collaborations of 2014: See our 10 favourite fashion and beauty pairings this year

Peter Pilotto x Target

First up is the Peter Pilotto for Target collaboration, which launched back in February and featured a number of the designer duo’s signature femme-meets-tough prints in the form of dresses, shoes and accessories.

Alexander Wang x H&M

Hugely anticipated this year was the Alexander Wang for H&M collection, which launched this November, offering a full line of daily performance wear, including scuba-dresses, WANG-emblazoned sweatshirts, bralettes, and more.

Solange Knowles x Puma

Following suit in the athleisure department is Solange Knowles, as the creative director of Puma, who created the Girls of Blaze Disc Collection, with references to the ‘90s style sneaker without laces.

Mary Katrantzou x Adidas

Mary Katrantzou also launched a sportswear collection for Adidas on November 15, which included a series of Adidas Original sneakers and apparel in the British designer’s go-to hyper-coloured kaleidoscopic prints, perfect for après gym appointments.

M.A.C’s Marge Simpson-inspired collaboration makes our list for a) its quirky shades (like yellow lipgloss!) and b) Simpsonified names, such as “Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy” and “Nacho Cheese Explosion.”

Sofia Coppola + Marc Jacobs

Talk about the ultimate dream team! Earlier this year, designer Marc Jacobs enlisted in the help of friend Sofia Coppola to produce a Virgin Suicides-inspired television campaign for one his most recent fragrances, Daisy Dream.

3.1 Phillip Lim x Nars

After 14 years of backstage beauty collaborations, Nars teamed up with 3.1 Phillip Lim to produce a collection of nine nail polish shades, which were also featured on the designer’s Fall 2014 runway.

Proenza Schouler x M.A.C

In April, Proenza Schouler teamed up with M.A.C cosmetics to launch a California-cool girl inspired makeup line. Mixing the perfect balance of vibrant and neutrals colours, this collection was the ultimate secret to pulling off the carefree city-chic look of spring.

Prabal Gurung x M.A.C

Another M.A.C collaboration for the books. The Prabal Gurung collection launched this November, featured a number of holiday-ready lipstick shades and jewel-toned eye shadows all encased in high-shine gold packaging inspired by the designer’s mother.

Liberty x Acne Studios

A favourite to say the least, the Liberty of London x Acne Studios collaboration resulted in a number of heavily juxtaposed art nouveau-inspired printed leather jackets, baseball hats and more.
