1) Julia von Boehm Collaborates With Nomasei
JVB x Nomasei
$460.00
Who: Julia von Boehm and Nomasei
What: New collaboration
Where: Online at nomasei.com
Why: For its latest collaboration, Nomasei called in the big guns: celebrity stylist and creative director Julia von Boehm, who’s worked with the likes of Gigi Hadid and Nicole Kidman. The sustainable Parisian shoe brand’s best-selling Nono and Trench loafers both get the JVB treatment in multi-colored leather, made using leftover scraps, as well as hand-placed lead-free Bohemia crystals. Also included? Special dress socks made for mixing and matching. Prepare to look very well-heeled.

2) Miu Miu and New Balance Release Second Collaboration
Miu Miu x New Balance
miumiu.com
$950.00
Who: Miu Miu
What: New Balance sneaker collaboration
Where: Online at miumiu.com and at Miu Miu stores worldwide
Why: It’s hard to think of a brand that defines the zeitgeist quite like Miu Miu. From reinventing sporty classics to designing coveted accessories, the label is on a winning streak. It makes perfect sense, then, that it’s bringing back its much-anticipated, sold-out-in-seconds New Balance collaboration. Having originally debuted on the SS22 runway, the partnership finds its footing once more with a similar color palette, but different materials—this time featuring a faded cognac leather and damaged denim. If you see a pair you like, don’t wait on it, because they’ll be gone faster than you can say “Miuccia Prada.”

3) Edie Parker Partners With The Gemini Bake on Tasty Accessories
Edie Parker x The Gemini Bake
edie-parker.com
$1295.00
Who: Edie Parker
What: The Bake Shop collaboration with The Gemini Bake
Where: Online at edie-parker.com
Why: The “is it cake?” trend that stormed the internet during the first pandemic summer defined the times—a bit insane, but a perfectly delusional escape from reality. Now, Edie Parker is cake-ifying its coveted acrylic pieces with the help of Samantha Raye of The Gemini Bake, who added her signature retro cake swirls and rosettes to the range, which includes a tabletop lighter. Be careful, because these definitely look good enough to eat.

4) Good American Debuts Bosswear Collection
goodamerican.com
$165.00
Who: Good American

Where: Online at goodamerican.com
Why: Talk about an iconic mom-daughter duo: Good American’s Bosswear collection of workwear essentials is back, and this time, co-founder Khloé Kardashian tapped none other than Kris Jenner to co-star in the brand campaign. “When I think of a boss, the only person that comes to mind is my mom,” Kardashian exclusively tells ELLE.com. “Everything about her says ‘boss’—and we had the best time on set.” True to Good American’s ethos, the line includes on-trend, well-fitting pieces in a full size range.

10) Alaïa Fêtes Its New York Store
Who: Alaïa
What: Store opening in New York City
Where: 149 Mercer Street, Soho, NYC
Why: Back in the ’80s, then-relatively-unknown designer Azzedine Alaïa opened a store in NYC, bringing his brand worldwide and introducing the U.S. market to his sensuous and—to quote Cher Horowitz—“very important” designs. Now, almost 40 years later, Alaïa returns stateside with Pieter Mulier at the helm. His ethos, not unlike Alaïa’s, stems from a deep love of femininity and art. The clean and modern store will also act as a gallery of sorts, featuring various artworks that inspire Mulier, like the Robert Rauschenberg prints pictured here, which look great next to his couture offerings (see: this Rihanna-approved print).

11) Rimowa and Palace Create Psychedelic Skater Capsule
Rimowa x Palace
rimowa.com
Who: Rimowa and Palace
What: Limited-edition collection
Where: Online at rimowa.com and at Rimowa’s Soho store
Why: Rimowa’s collaborations are a carefully considered endeavor—the luggage manufacturer only ever allows a select few designers to give their spin on its iconic Cabin suitcases. The newest brand on the roster is Palace, the London-based streetwear label famous for redefining skater style and bringing it to the masses. The resulting capsule includes the Cabin suitcase (of course) adorned with a dreamy desert scene, plus a skateboard deck and a pack of stickers to mark up your suitcase or board as you please. Bonus points for skating while rolling the suitcase.

Why: IKEA and Marimekko are two brands with Scandinavian heritage known for creating simple, high-quality pieces that last a lifetime—and look cute doing it. Case in point: the upcoming, highly anticipated BASTUA collection, which draws inspiration from Swedish sauna culture. “With the BASTUA collection, we wanted to bring a spark of Nordic joy to people all around the world,” Marimekko creative director Rebekka Bay exclusively tells ELLE.com. “This is the first time that Marimekko has designed a set of prints exclusively for a brand collaboration. Both brands share a democratic design philosophy, which has resulted in a collection that we hope will bring joy to the everyday lives of many.” We’re already overjoyed by the iconic FRAKTA tote’s redesign.

All pair perfectly with stripes.

What: New flagship boutique
Where: 385 Bleecker Street, NYC
Why: And just like that, Sarah Jessica Parker is putting down roots in the West Village, specifically with a new flagship boutique at the corner of Bleecker and Perry, not-so-coincidentally around the corner from Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment featured on Sex and the City. The all-pink store, co-designed by Parker and designer Eric Hughes, features plush carpeting and ’70s-inspired details, like light fixtures, and, of course, walls of shoes. At the opening, Parker herself was seen vacuuming and helping customers try on shoes.

Who: Rouje
What: New collection, “Damn Good (French) Classics”
Where: Online at rouje.com
Why: Rouje is doubling down on its French girl aesthetic by introducing a new collection of wardrobe essentials, appropriately called “Damn Good (French) Classics.” Think: a cotton stretchy midi dress (pictured here), a suede trench coat, and ankle boots you can wear 24/7. “I like the idea of having a sort of uniform—classics you can wear easily, but has a twist,” creative director and founder Jeanne Damas tells ELLE.com. “I wanted to explore staples one can wear every day, along with the different shades of red and pink to add some colors to the wardrobe and bring us already a step closer to spring.”
