We regret to report that summer is sadly nearing its end. Fortunately, there’s a full slate of fashion news and collaborations to whet your palette until fall inevitably hits—and maybe even get you psyched for the new season, too. Enter: Wrangler’s workwear collab with Parisian label Sandro, Simkhai’s sleek collection for Wolford, plus, Joseph Altuzarra turns into a home influencer with his West Elm Kids collection. Here’s everything you need to know—and buy—this August.
Sandro and Wrangler Team Up on Workwear-Chic Collab
Who: Sandro and Wrangler
What: Unisex collaboration
Where: Online at sandro-paris.com
Why: Paris, Texas, meet Paris, France. Sandro joined forces with American workwear magnate Wrangler for a fall wardrobe collab that’s not only genderless, but also offers relaxed, stylish pieces in Wrangler’s signature earth tones, including bootcut jeans and pants. The only thing that’s missing is a kickass pair of cowboy boots.
Wolford and Simkhai Collaborate On Bodycon Basics
Who: Wolford and Simkhai
What: Ready-to-wear and hosiery collaboration
Where: Online at simkhai.com and wolford.com
Why: Wolford’s expansion plan this year has been incredibly successful, teaming up with a host of designers for covetable collabs using their technical know-how with all things hosiery to fashionable effect. For their first collaboration with an American designer, Wolford paired up with Simkhai for an ultra-minimalist capsule of red, white, and black body-skimming catsuits in textured patterns that work well alone and with a blazer and boots for an office-ready look.
Joseph Altuzarra Creates Whimsy With West Elm Kids Collaboration
Who: Joseph Altuzarra and West Elm Kids
What: Home collection
Where: Online at westelm.com/josephaltuzarra
Why: Joseph Altuzarra is an accomplished fashion designer whose latest passion project sees him diving into the role of a dad. He’s taking to the role quite naturally, and his time at home with his two daughters inspired his whimsical yet practical range of kids furniture, accessories, and textiles made in partnership with West Elm, including this rug with a sketch of a hot air balloon drawn by Altuzarra.
Eastpak and Vivienne Westwood Create Eco-Friendly Galactic Accessories
Who: Eastpak and Vivienne Westwood
What: Accessories collaboration
Where: Online at eastpak.com and viviennewestwood.com
Why: Vivienne Westwood’s legacy is one of a true iconoclast, creating punk-chic fashion for eco-conscious, rebellious minds. The brand’s latest collaboration with Eastpak sees a Saturn print that debuted on the runway four years ago splattered across backpacks and duffles made with recycled materials, ensuring that our own planet isn’t harmed in the process of creation.
Louis Vuitton Reintroduces the GO-14 Handbag
Who: Louis Vuitton
What: Re-release of GO-14 handbag
Where: Online at louisvuitton.com and in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide
Why: As one of the oldest and most prominent fashion houses in the world, Louis Vuitton is adept at using innovative techniques to update its tried and true classics. See: the GO-14 handbag, a puffy, almost marshmallow-like silhouette that debuted on the spring/summer 2015 runway, now reworked for the fall/winter 2023 collection. The signature padding mimics the interior of Vuitton’s trunks, offering protection on long journeys, but with an updated malletage process that gives a spray-painted effect. The tan colorway almost looks good enough to eat.
Another Tomorrow Debuts the Foundation Wardrobe
Who: Another Tomorrow
What: The Foundation: A System For Living in Alignment
Where: Online at anothertomorrow.co
Why: For those looking to recalibrate their wardrobes and do so sustainably, look no further. Another Tomorrow is the premier brand crafting classics without compromising on ecological responsibility. It’s so confident in its processes, in fact, that each product comes with a unique QR code that catalogues the item’s entire provenance, from conception to purchase. The Foundation is a 34-piece capsule containing everything you need, from the perfect white button-down to the ultimate high-rise denim pictured here, made in a specific Italian mill using organic cotton. There’s nothing here to feel guilty about here—other than being ridiculously chic, that is.

Why: The tennis craze isn’t going anywhere, and is reaching its peak with the arrival of the last Grand Slam of the year in New York, the US Open. For their first-ever collab, Lacoste and Bandier created a French-American collection chock-full of sporty pieces, like this bra and leggings set, plus tennis attire and athleisure for on and off the court.

Why: If you’re trying to achieve the true New Yorker uniform this fall (all black), look no further.

Run, don’t walk before this collab certainly sells out.

There are even bean necklaces, so you can carry the magical fruit with you at all times.
