Top 3 Talent x Brand Collabs We Loved in June

From catwalk to campaign trail, these June collabs prove how the right talent can define a brand’s voice and cultural relevance.

From beach-ready footwear to campaign-worthy suiting, June brought a fresh wave of talent x brand collaborations that blended fashion with meaning. These weren’t just stylish partnerships — they reflected personal stories, cultural moments, and the power of authentic influence. Here are the three campaigns we couldn’t stop talking about.

GIGI HADID X HAVAIANAS

GIGI HADID X HAVAIANAS: The Flip-Flop Collab We Didn’t Know We Needed

Supermodel and global style icon Gigi Hadid has teamed up with beloved Brazilian footwear brand Havaianas to create a limited-edition summer collection that’s already turning heads. Released in June 2025, this vibrant, laid-back line is a love letter to sunshine, beach days, and effortless cool, just like Gigi herself.

A Glamorous Take on a Summer Staple

Known for her beachy California-girl vibe and off-duty model looks, Gigi was the perfect choice for this fresh partnership. The collaboration reimagines Havaianas’ classic flip-flop silhouette with custom colour palettes, metallic accents, and floral motifs that feel pulled from Gigi’s own summer mood board.

The collection ranges from pastel lavenders and warm coral hues to striking ombré fades, combining comfort with elevated design. Subtle touches, like a gold monogram “G” charm or a translucent glitter strap, give the styles a chic upgrade.

Inspired by Gigi’s Travel + Beach Lifestyle

Gigi shared that the line was inspired by summers spent in Mykonos, Malibu, and the Italian coast, where Havaianas are a wardrobe essential. “I’ve worn Havaianas since I was a teenager,” she said in a campaign interview. “This collab was about creating something that feels true to me, easy, fun, and stylish without trying too hard.”

Sustainable, Accessible, and Perfect for Your Vacation Moodboard

Not only are the flip-flops cute, they’re also eco-conscious, made with at least 40% recycled rubber, a growing focus for Havaianas in 2025. With prices ranging from $44 to $50 USD, the collab is budget-friendly luxury,  perfect for packing in your beach bag or styling with a breezy dress for a rooftop brunch.

Where to Buy It

The Gigi Hadid x Havaianas collection dropped on 17th June 2025, and is available here.

TOM DALEY X REISS

TOM DALEY x REISS: A Collab That Merges Pride With Polished Style

When Olympic gold medalist, designer, and activist Tom Daley teams up with a modern British fashion house like Reiss, the result is far more than just clothing , it’s a cultural statement. Their June 2025 Pride capsule offers a refined yet bold take on queer visibility, blending timeless tailoring with Daley’s signature vulnerability and cool confidence.

Clean Lines. Loud Message.

The Tom Daley x Reiss collection, released at the start of Pride Month, features a curated selection of elevated essentials:

  • Cropped knit polos in rich neutrals
  • Lightweight suiting in unexpected sorbet tones
  • Relaxed pleated trousers with contrast stitching
  • Subtle rainbow detailing hidden in linings and trim

Daley said in an official press release:

“I wanted to create something that felt empowering, but still very me. Clothes you could wear to a Pride event or on a date night — not just for the celebration, but for the everyday.”

This collaboration marks a moment for queer masculinity in menswear. While many Pride drops lean into graphic tees or novelty rainbows, Daley and Reiss choose sophistication. The capsule shows that LGBTQ+ pride can be soft, sharp, and stylish, not confined to one aesthetic.

The lookbook, shot in London’s Soho, pairs architecture with intimacy: models lounging in oversized suiting on stone stairwells, or laughing in sunlit windows, evoking connection, confidence, and comfort in self.

Where to Buy It

The Tom Daley x Reiss capsule launched on 3rd June 2025, and is available online at Reiss.com.

SEUNGMIN X BURBERRY

SEUNGMIN x BURBERRY: Where K-pop Meets Timeless Elegance

In one of June’s most buzzed-about fashion moments, Seungmin, the beloved vocalist of global K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids, was unveiled as the new face of Burberry’s Summer 2025 menswear campaign.

The collaboration marks a perfect harmony of youthful confidence, modern masculinity, and Burberry’s signature refinement.

A Quiet Power in Every Shot

Shot in the English countryside and under moody London skies, the campaign plays to Seungmin’s naturally understated charm. He’s styled in a refined palette of taupe, ivory, slate, and classic Burberry camel, wrapped in trench coats, oversized tailoring, and minimalistic knitwear.

From soft cashmere layers to crisp cotton shirts, each look channels a sense of introspective elegance that feels personal to Seungmin’s public image: thoughtful, grounded, and quietly magnetic.

Burberry’s Creative Director Daniel Lee noted:

“Seungmin brings a sense of grace and clarity that speaks to Burberry’s future — grounded in tradition, but always looking forward.”

Global Appeal, Local Icon

Burberry’s decision to work with Seungmin is no accident. As K-pop continues to dominate global culture, fashion houses are deepening ties with Korean stars who reflect more than just influence – they bring narrative, discipline, and authenticity.

For fans, this moment is especially meaningful. Seungmin, known for his warm vocals and sincere stage presence, has long been admired for his effortless style – favouring clean silhouettes, earth tones, and tailored fits even off-stage. The collab affirms his place in fashion’s rising echelon of quiet icons.

When brands pick talent that actually makes sense, magic happens. These collabs weren’t just well-executed – they told a story. More of this, please.
