August 2026's Top Fashion Collaborations
A look at August 2026's key fashion collaborations, including partnerships for brands like Stüssy, Our Legacy, and Moncler.
August 2026 delivered a series of significant fashion collaborations before the frenzy of fashion month began. From swimwear to mountain-ready footwear, brands teamed up for limited collections.
According to a round-up by Dazed, the month saw partnerships including Zara Larsson's brand Main Rose with Nii HAi, Stüssy with Always Do What You Should Do, and Willy Chavarria with UGG. The source notes these were among the "most coveted collaborations of the summer."
Main Rose and Stüssy Lead Summer Styles
Zara Larsson's brand Main Rose collaborated with London label Nii HAi on a new swimwear line. The collection is available now. Meanwhile, Stüssy returned with a summer collaboration alongside London-based streetwear label Always Do What You Should Do. Founded by Nick Mason in 2018, the label worked with Stüssy on a collection featuring vibrant T-shirts in lime green, purple, and yellow, alongside tracksuits and shorts.
Workwear and Outerwear Reinterpretations
Our Legacy Work Shop teamed up with workwear brand Dickies last week. The collection is designed to look deliberately sun-faded and includes a modified Eisenhower jacket and two variants of Our Legacy's Box T-shirt.
The North Face continued its relationship with Junya Watanabe, now working with the eYe Junya Watanabe Man line. This new branch of the collaboration reinterprets a mountain jacket and a signature bomber jacket. The styles are currently available at Dover Street Market.
Footwear Focus: Asics and Clarks
Asics Sportstyle was particularly active, launching two collaborations. Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen returned to reimagine the brand's GEL-KINETIC™ FR silhouette, adding her signature floral flair. Although announced in August, the shoes are reportedly set to launch on September 12.
In a separate partnership, Asics teamed up with tableware brand Gohar World, founded by artists Laila and Nadia Gohar. This marks the sisters' first venture into footwear and introduces a new Asics silhouette called the GEL-DS TRAINER SP.
Moncler collaborated with Clarks Originals, specially designing the shoes to include Moncler's signature Trailgrip Vibram® outsole for mountain paths. The source states the shoes are also waterproof and are available now.
Willy Chavarria's Capsule for UGG
American designer Willy Chavarria released a capsule collection with UGG, featuring four new shoe styles plus a T-shirt and socks. All items are designed in black with chunky soles and metal buckles. Dazed described the collection as "the most leather daddy-inspired UGG we’ve ever seen."
