9 WEEKLY HYPER COLLABS
Culture's most unlikely hookups — from £3K pencil cases to Charli XCX's Playboy debut
CAMILLE WALALA X SKETCH
French artist Camille Walala takes over sketch's entrance with an abstract cityscape of geometric shapes — a nod to the Memphis movement, Ndebele art and Victor Vasarely. The space's existing blue walls furnished with a pair of vintage Groovy chairs by Pierre Paulin. It runs from London Design Festival through Frieze Week ( until 10 November).
YINKA ILORI X BRABANTIA

Fresh off his debut London show "Joy Through Resistance," Ilori brings his bold, pattern-heavy visual language to the Dutch homeware brand Brabantia — bins, an ironing board and a drying rack, all reworked in his signature colour-blocked style.
CHARLI XCX X PLAYBOY (interviewed by Kylie Jenner)

Charli XCX is Playboy's Fall cover star, shot by longtime collaborator Aidan Zamiri aboard a boat on the Thames. The accompanying interview is conducted by Kylie Jenner — her first time on that side of the questions, covering marriage, confidence and Charli's creative ambition.
USM X SYMBOL AUDIO

For London Design Festival, Swiss furniture brand USM has turned its Marylebone store into the "USM Record Store" — filled with modular shelving from its Symbol Audio collaboration, designed for vinyl and turntables. Talks, performances and listening sessions run through Sunday 20 September.
GAP X A.P.C.

Gap and Parisian label A.P.C. built a 39-piece collection (34 for the UK) spanning menswear, womenswear and accessories, pulling from both brands' archives and 1960s cinema, music and art. Japanese denim runs through it ( £150 jacket and £120 straight jeans) alongside a shaped denim jacket with archive-inspired lining.
RIMOWA X FABER-CASTELL

Rimowa's grooved aluminium shell now houses 120 Faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils, custom grooved 2B graphite pencils and platinum-plated sharpener and eraser, arranged across a two-tier display. It marks Faber-Castell's 265th anniversary. And prices are around $3,100.
H&M X NICK KNIGHT / SHOWSTUDIO

For its return to London Fashion Week, H&M ditched the traditional show format for "H&M&YOU&I" — a presentation built around human connection, with legendary photographer Nick Knight and his platform SHOWstudio directing, and a soundtrack from Labrinth. H&M is once again testing how weird a mainstream retailer's runway can get.
PUSHA T X PHARRELL X LAVAZZA

Pusha T and Pharrell have been working together since the 2002 Clipse classic "Grindin'." Their actual studio routine — up at 5am, straight to black coffee or the strongest espresso they could find, then hours of creating before a 25-mile bike ride. Now is Grindin Coffee, expanded through a new partnership with Italian roaster Lavazza.
Dark and medium roasts, ground or whole bean, built for people who don't ease into mornings.
KIKO KOSTADINOV X ASICS

Nearly ten years into one of fashion's most consistent sneaker partnerships, Kostadinov's new Tabi 4 pulls its marbled sole from the ASICS Noosa Tri 16 and its split-toe shape from the brand's 1950s tabi marathon shoe. It might also be the strangest thing they've ever made.
