Top 5 Great Collaborations Of Summer 2025

7 Jun 2025

Did your mother ever say something like, “It is one thing to be strong on your own, but when you’re together, it is even better” when you were a kid? Well, it seems like the big brands we all love took that advice seriously. How else can we explain all the amazing collabs they keep surprising us with this year?
The start of 2025 was wild — Miu Miu x New Balance, Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami, Nike x SKIMS. And guess what? Summer is not slowing down either. We are only a few days in, and the drops are already looking incredible. Here are the top 5 you need to know about!
1774 Birkenstock x Maharishi
Mixing comfort with an urban edge, soft nylon with rugged military accessories — these two brands have created something truly unique. The whole idea behind the collection is to explore the relationship between nature and technology. The Mogami Terra Tech sandal — the crown jewel of the collection — would easily top any list of the best beach shoes and go-to travel styles.
Oh, and their photoshoot… it deserves a special mention: shot by Tyrone Lebon, the campaign moves between the wild beaches of Costa Rica and the gritty streets of London.
Supriya Lele x Mango
For those who do not know, Supriya Lele is a British-Indian designer — and here is a fun fact: before stepping into the fashion world, she spent years training as a classical Indian dancer. That influence still echoes in her designs today.
Her pieces have been worn by Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Bella Hadid — and now it’s our turn. Mango and Supriya Lele have teamed up for “A Summer Reverie”, a bold, slightly provocative, and ultra-feminine collection. Perfect for your hottest summer yet.
Levi’s x Sacai
Here is the deal: Levi’s brings its iconic, timeless denim, while Sacai adds that unmistakable Japanese edge — graphic, layered, and beautifully chaotic with fresh new textures. And honestly, it works. This collection delivers exactly what we are all craving right now: comfort, casual ease, with a twist that sets you apart.
No, it is not their official motto — but it could be: laid-back, never boring.
The standout piece? The deconstructed Type I Trucker jacket — reimagined with asymmetric panelling and floating layers. Effortless cool with serious attitude.
Harrods x Fashion Trust Arabia
Starting July 2025
Okay, even if you do not recognise some of the brands below — trust me, you should! Harrods, one of the world’s most iconic luxury department stores, has announced it will be showcasing four local Middle Eastern fashion brands — winners of the Fashion Trust Arabia Prize. Among them are Yasmin Mansour, APOA, RAMLA and Nadine Mosallam.
How cool is that? These were once just small local brands — and now they are about to shine on the global stage.
So much pride here. No more comments.
Manchester City x PUMA
If I sent this to my brother, I am pretty sure he would do whatever it takes to book the next flight to Dubai — no questions asked. He’s a football fan, of course. And if you are too, this collaboration is going to blow your mind. Even if you’re not, trust me — this is big.
In partnership with their official sponsor PUMA, Manchester City has opened a brand-new store in Dubai Mall — marking the Club’s second permanent retail location in the UAE.
