If there\u2019s anything fashion editors can\u2019t resist, it\u2019s a designer collab<\/a>. Apart from setting calendar alerts, we\u2019re already pre-shopping, pre-styling, and pre-justifying would-be purchases way before the collections even drop. And for good reason. <\/p>\n

These collabs, typically executed with mass retailers, offer designers\u2019 talents with a more accessible price point. (In fashion math, that means some pieces are basically free.) <\/strong>If you\u2019re really <\/em>lucky, some high-end designers even reinterpret their sold-out archival pieces, giving fashion girls a chance to own otherwise impossible-to-collect items.<\/p>\n

In the past, these partnerships weren\u2019t as common. Very few retailers like H&M and Target tapped major designers, and they only released one big collab a year. Thankfully, that\u2019s all changing. More and more mass market labels are releasing designer collections, including Zara, Gap<\/a>, and Old Navy, so fashion girls are spoiled <\/strong>for choice. <\/p>\n

Case in point: Zara already has two major launches lined up this year, the fashion brand\u2019s recent Willy Chavarria collection and their upcoming collab with Dior alum John Galliano<\/a>. To help you narrow down the many, many options, I asked Bustle\u2019s fashion editors which drops they\u2019re shopping and what items they\u2019re eyeing. Race us to cart. <\/p>\n

Willy Chavarria x Zara<\/h2>\n

\u201cAs a Mexican American woman, I was thrilled to hear about the Willy Chavarria x Zara collaboration. His designs blend oversized streetwear with chic, feminine silhouettes, often in his signature color palette of red, black, gray, and white \u2014 sometimes incorporating unexpected tones like pink. His high-end Chicano-inspired style, rooted in New York City\u2019s creative scene, now pairs with Zara to make it more accessible at an affordable price. I can\u2019t wait to get my hands on a piece or two.\u201d \u2014 Noelia Rojas-West, fashion market assistant<\/i><\/p>\n

Jil Sander x PUMA <\/h2>\n

\u201cThe fashion universe aligned with this one, but I\u2019m currently living for the Jil Sander and PUMA collaboration. It\u2019s the perfect balance of minimalism meets sporty, and I support shoes that wed chicness and comfort.\u201d \u2014 Jennifer Yee, fashion market director<\/em><\/p>\n

Onitsuka Tiger x Versace<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obsessed with the new Onitsuka Tiger x Versace sneakers. I love the juxtaposition of the minimal aesthetic of the Thai-Chi sneaker in bright Versace yellow. It\u2019s the perfect everyday shoe.\u201d \u2014 Stephanie Sanchez, senior fashion market and accessories editor<\/em><\/p>\n

Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe CJR x Old Navy collaboration feels like a bold, high-impact fusion of expressive design and everyday accessibility. CJR is known for vivid silhouettes, playful proportions, and fearless prints, which translate seamlessly into this collection, delivering a lineup that feels both dynamic and wearable. From graphic stripes to spirited polka dots, each piece channels a sense of joy and individuality that defines the brand\u2019s DNA.\u201d \u2014 Ashirah Curry, associate market editor<\/em><\/p>\n

J.Crew x Tanner Fletcher <\/h2>\n

\u201cJ.Crew tapped five emerging New York designers \u2014 BUCI, Collina Strada, Eckhaus Latta, Tanner Fletcher, and Patrick Taylor <\/strong>\u2014 to reimagine its iconic, 40-year-old Rollneck sweater, and I need every single one of them. I\u2019m planning on starting my collection with Tanner Fletcher\u2019s nautical-inspired take. The sailor-style flap tie is such a fun touch and perfectly captures the designer duo\u2019s signature whimsy.\u201d \u2014 Alyssa Lapid, fashion writer <\/em><\/p>\n

Susan Fang x Melissa<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been low-key obsessed with Susan Fang since I discovered her elaborate sensory designs with 3D printed elements. When I heard she was collaborating with Melissa on jelly shoes covered in floral appliqu\u00e9s \u2014 reminiscent of the ones that sashay down her London Fashion Week runways \u2014 I knew it was time to revive my 2010s-era love of jellies. If that reeks millennial, so be it!\u201d \u2014 A.L.<\/em><\/p>\n
