If you want some good news, listen up. This just so happens to be one of the best months when it comes to fashion, with four new designer collaborations launching on the high street. Danish label Rotate has just dropped its second collection with H&M which includes ‘nice’ tops that’ll elevate your trusty denim, along with voluminous puff-sleeve mini dresses and sparkly maxi dresses that are true to the Scandi brand’s maximalist aesthetic. Roksanda previously partnered up with Jigsaw last year, and now, Serbian designer Roksanda Ilinčić has also teamed up with George at Asda to bring designer buys to the supermarket aisles. With everything from contrasting co-ords to elevated trench coats in the colour of the season (yes, burgundy), it’s one not to miss. 

It seems Adidas is the sportswear brand every designer wants to partner with at the moment – joyful Brazilian brand Farm Rio has just launched a second collection with the brand (the first was 10 years ago), giving Adidas’s signature zip-up jackets a tropical twist and transforming sporty shorts with fun, bold prints. And we have it on good authority that Wales Bonner is about to drop its new Adidas Samba edit for autumn/winter 2024 within a matter of weeks.

This isn’t the only collection you need to put in your diaries. London-based label Awake Mode has tapped high street hero John Lewis – and yes, it’s as chic as you can imagine. With everything from Breton tops to suede bags getting the label’s premium touch, put 17 October firmly in your diaries. Want some insider intel? Marks & Spencer is set to launch an edit with Bella Freud (expect lots of logo knits), and we’ll be telling you more about this very very soon. For now, these are the designer collections to shop already. 

H&M x Rotate

Rotate fans rejoice. The much-loved Danish brand has brought its style credentials back to the high street with a second collection for H&M. As hotly anticipated as the first sell-out drop in 2023 (unfortunately, it wasn’t available to us in the UK), the 2.0 edit has silver jeans, ‘nice’ tops, puff-sleeved mini dresses (they’re already selling out, FYI), sequin zebra print co-ords and a floor-sweeping burgundy rhinestone dress that’s bound to be a seasonal hit. 

The collection is available to shop online and in-store now, so we’ve picked a couple of our favourite pieces that are still available to shop – if you’re quick – because we all know the power of an H&M designer collaboration.

Farm Rio x Adidas

Rewind back to 2014, and this is where the relationship between world-famous sportswear brand Adidas and the joyful, uplifting Brazilian brand Farm Rio began. While the first collection was more about merging floral prints with the iconic three-stripe designs, this new collection – 10 years on – has made a case for tropical active and everyday wear. There are sporty shorts in vibrant zig-zags, dresses in colourful leaf prints and the much-loved Firebird zip-up jacket reinvented in punchy prints.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you wear them, here are a few of our favourite pieces from the newly launched edit. You can even get a backpack, cap and a football in the lively designs.

John Lewis x Awake Mode

London-based brand Awake Mode has joined forces with high street hero John Lewis to create a collection that could become your entire autumn capsule. The 46-piece edit puts the designer’s avant-garde touch to knitwear, outerwear and even accessories. There’s a suede studded bag that’s guaranteed to sell out as soon as it lands, a Breton top with cutout detailing, and silver knee-high boots that’ll take any outfit to new heights. 

Natalia Alaverdian, founder and creative director of the minimalist meets maximalist label, says, “Having the opportunity to create a bridge between John Lewis and Awake Mode and making a collection that is accessible to both of our customers is very exciting. For me, the collection is a perfect blend of Awake’s unique identity and the quality aesthetic John Lewis is known for.”

There’s a sneak peek with the beautiful fringed jumpsuit (above) but put the date (below) in your diaries as the collection will be dropping online – and in 10 selected stores – very soon.

George x Roksanda

Serbian-born designer Roksanda Ilinčić is known for creating pieces of fashionable art. And now, the London-based brand has partnered with George at Asda for a 30-piece collection of flamboyant colourful and punchy striped pieces that’ll make everyone ask where you got them from. There are fleece jackets in contrasting (yet complementing) shades of orange and burgundy, bold knitted co-ords and puffer jackets and trench coats that’ll be autumn/winter hero items that are bound to get you noticed.

We have no doubt this collection will fly off the supermarket aisles, but we’ve picked some of the best bits that you’ll want to add to your basket – or trolley – because you’ll need lots of room for this dream collection.
