Come fall, our thoughts turn to fashion – and judging by the latest crop of designer collaborations, it’s going to be a supremely stylish season. The following partnerships, which includes some A-list names, demonstrate the power when creative talents join forces.

RuPaul x WallPops

Talk about statement-making walls. Style maven and drag queen RuPaul “brings his indulgent and glamourous aesthetic to a brand-new frontier in this collection with WallPops,” touts the wallpaper company’s website. Bold, whimsical patterns include RuZebra, RuJardin, RuLeopard, RuDeco, and RuHoundstooth. An added bonus: Innovative adhesion technology allow the paper to be easily removed without damaging walls.

The Rug Company’s Designer Collections

Taking its cue from the world of couture, the brand has partnered with five trailblazing fashion and interior designers – Paul Smith, Ken Fulk, Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander McQueen and Kelly Wearstler. The common denominator: Every rug  is woven with artisanal precision in Nepal.

“The great thing about The Rug Company is that they value working with people who have real artisanal skills,” according to Smith, whose vibrant rugs take color blocking to the next level. “To me, there’s no better way of introducing a bit of bright, happy energy into a room than a good rug.”

John Legend x Rove Concepts

This fall, the multifaceted singer/songwriter adds furniture designer to his repertoire. Beyond its neutral palette, the five-piece Journeys Collection aims for warmth and a retro vibe.

Designed to bridge the gap between music and home décor, Rove Concepts CEO and founder Art Lee explains: “We observed that the worlds of music and design merge in many ways, sharing foundational elements. For instance, harmony and rhythm are crucial in both interior design and music composition.”

Coqui Coqui Perfumes x H&M Home

Those in the know have already discovered H&M Home, available online and at the stand-alone Galleria brick-and-mortar. Playing on the idea of creating a “home away from home,” this much-anticipated 26-piece collaboration features fragrance, interior and travel essentials from lifestyle brand Coqui Coqui Residences & Spa.

Elle Décor calls this a fresh idea with legs – literally. Inspired by strong female icons – Egyptian queen Nefertari to burlesque performer Dita Von Teese – this limited-edition series features nine meticulously crafted chairs. Among the standouts: Pompadour’s gilded heels, which take cues from French dressers dating back to the 1750s.

Collagerie x Zara Home

The brainchild of British Vogue alums Lucinda Chambers and Serena Hood, a new collaboration with Collageire combines the pair’s eye for style with Zara’s trademark accessibility. Highlights include woven furniture and tabletop, ceramic vases, pillows, cushions, and more.
