"I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed." - Steve Lacy

The line between performance and design is fast becoming blurred, and nowhere is it more prominent than in fashion when fashion labels collaborate with celebrities for limited editions or lines unique to said collaborator's style. Examples can be seen from street fashion i.e. Kate Moss for UK label Topshop to luxury high end fashion i.e. Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton.

Entre nous, I think the above are highly overrated and I really don't see the big deal about either of the collections. Hardly avant garde or gush-worthy.

However, I am quite excited to see the new collaboration between Christina Aguilera for Topshop and I do prefer Sofia Coppola's creations for Louis Vuitton over Stephen Sprouse :

I like that Sofia Coppola has chosen to feature the bags in unusual colours like russet and cobalt, which are wearable yet not too commonly pedestrian.
