    Balmain x H&M

    Riffing on past runway hits, Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain x H&M collaboration gave the designer’s two million Instagram followers a chance to join his Balmain Army. And that they did, turning out in droves to shop the collaboration—and resell it on eBay for more than ten times the retail price.

    NikeLab x Sacai

    Chitose Abe’s Sacai collection has been a fashion favorite for years, but its collaboration with NikeLab introduced Abe’s spliced-up vision to a new market—and allowed current fans to score some of Abe’s pieces for a more affordable price.

    Kanye West x Adidas Originals

    Kanye West returned to Fashion Week with year with a little boost from Adidas Originals, who produced West’s first ready-to-wear collection (the second is under the Yeezy label, separate from Adidas) and partnered with the musician-cum-designer on his series of Yeezy sneakers and boots.

    Hood By Air x Empire

    You can’t deny the allure of Empire. Lee Daniels’s high-gloss series captivated many millions of people this year, though none put a spin on the Empire look quite like Hood By Air’s Shayne Oliver, who crafted a series of pieces featuring memorable iconography from the show. Sure, Cookie might not wear a black hoodie, but you will.

    Lemaire x Uniqlo

    Lemaire’s elegant and minimal collection for Uniqlo proved that a fashion collaboration doesn’t need to be splashy or sequined to be successful. (Uniqlo stuck to this script in 2015 with a Carine Roitfeld–designed collection of lace-trimmed slip dresses and pinstriped suiting.)
