Fall's 5 Most-Wanted Designer Collabs

These days, it seems as though designer collaborations are fashion's New Black. And when some of our favorite retailers join forces, we've really got nothing to complain about. When high marries low, old marries new, and mass marries luxe, these uniquely fab collaborations combine the best of all worlds. Whether you're into shoes, bags, or every piece in-between, these five anticipated designer partnerships are the most likely to get us taking an extra-long "lunch hour." We'll take the Pierre Hardys for dessert, please!

Pierre Hardy For Gap—We've already put in our order at The Gap for a pair of Pierre Hardy black suede, lace-up wedges that are the perfect ooh-la-la accent for any girl's fall uniform.
See the other three designs in the Pierre Hardy for Gap fall collaboration.

Alexa Chung For Madewell—Dress to impress like one of Karl Lagerfeld's quirkiest muses, Alexa Chung, in one of her hippie-chic skirts for Madewell's Fall collection.

Mulberry For Target—Even if we are a little skeptical about the quality, we're willing to take a chance on a dreamy designer bag at a fraction of the price.

Robert Clergerie For Opening Ceremony—Robert Clergerie has brought metallic genius to Opening Ceremony with a sick pair of gold wedges that combine classic design with serious city-slicker edge.
