Crocs just teased a majorly punk designer collab — and we're so ready for it

Welcome to your one-stop shop for the biggest fashion news and announcements, as curated by the Cosmo team. Check back in for regular updates. Thank us later! Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs is happening Yes, you read that correctly. Following in the footsteps of Simone Rocha and Balenciaga, today Crocs announced it would be teaming up with legendary French fashion label Jean Paul Gaultier. The collection will take inspiration from the house's most recognisable designs, such as the iconic corset and cone bra made famous by Madonna and Gaultier's signature safety pin motif. We've got no further details at this stage, but the collection will be available to shop in August, so there's not too long to wait. Stay tuned... Flip-flops top the Q2 Lyst Index It feels like we've been saying it for months, but shopping platform Lyst's quarterly report (released today) has confirmed that flip-flops are indeed summer's biggest must-have item. The Row's £670 Dune pair, which have been sported by everyone from Jonathan Bailey to Lori Harvey, came in at the number one slot to be crowned the quarter's "hottest product". To compile the results, Lyst analyses the online shopping behaviour of more than 160 million shoppers — and the appetite for toe-baring shoes doesn't stop there. 6 of this quarter's 10 hottest products are footwear, including Ancient Greek Sandals Iro jelly shoes and the Vibram FiveFinger V-Soul. Who would have thought feet would become so fashionable? Other top ranking products include Adidas' three-stripe sport shorts, Miu Miu's boat shoes and Isabel Marant's wedge trainers. See the full list of top brands and products here. Topshop's big comeback It seems the Topshop renaissance is almost upon us. Last week, the brand announced it would be making its return to the runway after almost a decade — but not as a part of London Fashion Week, as it once was. Both Topshop and Topman will present a 'See Now, Buy Now' show in August, which will be open to the public at a 'landmark London location'. Final details are to come, but in an even more nostalgic move, the brand are running an open casting call in collaboration with Wilhelmina Models — meaning you can apply to walk in the show. Britain's Next Top Model, anyone? As if we weren't already on the edge of our seats, today the former high-street favourite has teased an upcoming partnership with Cara Delevigne, naming her as the 'face of its bold new era'. A curated 30-piece edit will be available exclusively on from 16 August, and will feature sharp tailoring and statement outerwear, alongside reviving Millennial staples such as the Joni and Jamie jeans (IYKYK). Cara Delevingne said: "As a London girl, Topshop was the place where fashion felt fun, fearless, and full of possibilities. Coming back to Topshop now is more than a return – it's about starting something new. This collection is about owning your style, your story, and feeling empowered to express that every day." Cara has a long history with Topshop — she first made an appearance in a film for Kate Moss's 2010 collection, and later became the global face of the brand herself in 2014. She was a runway regular for Topshop Unique, opening and closing the London Fashion Week show in 2014 to coincide with her campaign (which also featured an appearance from Hailey Bieber, then Baldwin). In this full circle moment, the pair have big plans for the future. Another larger capsule collection is reportedly already in development for the 2026/27 season, and will be built around a shared vision of a sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to fashion, with a focus on quality materials and design (which old Topshop was renowned for). 'Cara is the perfect embodiment of the Topshop spirit—bold, creative, and unapologetically herself,' said Michelle Wilson, Topshop Managing Director. 'This partnership is more than a campaign; it's a statement of intent as we reintroduce Topshop to the world. We're bringing together cultural relevance, design credibility, and a new energy that speaks to how people want to dress today.'

It's Official, This Is The Hottest Dress Of 2025 So Far

Each quarter, global fashion search index Lyst announces its official 'Hottest Products of 2025' list. So, as somebody who essentially shops for a living, finding out what people are actually buying is some pretty major fashion news. Whilst the line-up is usually a collection of luxury designer items (each with a luxury price tag in tow) a brand shift has become more and more noticeable over the years. Amongst Prada and Miu Miu you'll now also find the likes of Adidas' cute little retro style shorts, Skims' sell-out tank top, and the only dress to make the cut; the Hedy strapless maxi by Faithfull The Brand. Whilst this dress isn't necessarily a surprise entry to the list (the style in question has sold out on multiple occasions) but more a well-earned spot for a certified crowd pleaser. Plus, 6 of the 10 items included by Lyst are footwear, think The Row's viral flip-flops and Isabel Marant's nostalgic wedge trainers, making it all the more impressive for the clothing items that napped a spot in the top 10. If you're looking to invest, you'll find the Hedy dress available in soft buttery yellow, one of 2025's most searched for shades, classic go-with-everything black and a brand new deep olive green, another of this summer's breakout colour stars. Faithfull The Brand's strapless maxi is a true all-rounder, easily appropriate for plenty of occasions, we recommend wearing yours with low-key flip flops, a beachy straw tote and sunglasses for a super chic daytime outfit, switching to high-heeled mules and adding a cute little handbag for the evening. So, what're you waiting for? Faithfull The Brand, Hedy Maxi Dress In Yellow Faithfull The Brand's beloved Hedy dress in buttery yellow is officially one of the hottest clothing items of 2025, opt for this colourway for an easy breezy shade that'll see you through the rest of the summer. Faithfull The Brand, Hedy Maxi Dress In Forest This rich shade of olivey, forest green is the perfect pre-fall take on the classic, wear yours with sandals for warm weather and, when autumn arrives, pair with an oversized blazer and knee-high boots. Faithfull The Brand, Hedy Maxi Dress In Black When in doubt, choose a black dress. Not only are black summer dresses a total wardrobe staple but the Hedy dress by Faithfull The Brand also makes for a super chic take on wedding guest dressing.

Miu Miu back on top in latest Lyst Index, hottest product is The Row's simple but pricey flip-flop

If anyone thought Miu Miu was set to run out of steam any time soon, they couldn't be more wrong. The Prada -owned brand that has been on a remarkable high in recent years is still up there and it's back at number one in the newly released Lyst index for Q2. See catwalk As well as Miu Miu's ongoing success, Lyst said the quarter saw 'a dramatic shift from polished to personality' and fashion shoppers 'pivoting to high-impact, lower-cost accessories and footwear amid recession concerns. Beyond the viral Labubu craze, brand heat came from expressive, storytelling brands and standout shoes'. In fact, 60% of the hottest products were footwear and we're not talking about just one type as in the not-so-far-off days of sneaker dominance. This time, the hottest products spanned 'the functional, nostalgic, and avant-garde'. More of that later, first let's look at the top brands. Miu Miu rose one spot back to number one, replacing Loewe, which fell to second place. Saint Laurent was steady at number three, ahead of Prada (+1), Coach (-1), The Row (+2), COS (-1), Chloé (+1), Bottega Veneta (-2) and Moncler (+1). They made up the top 10 and behind them in the rest of the top 20 were Ralph Lauren (+1), Alaïa (-2), Balenciaga (+1), Jacquemus (+2), SKIMS (no move), Versace (-3), Burberry (re-entering the top 20), Gucci (-1), Birkenstock (another newcomer), and Valentino (no move). See catwalk Why was Miu Miu so hot? It seems to be striking a chord with affluent youthful consumers and it's very good at turning out hit products. Its suede, logo-embossed boat shoe/loafer was the fourth hottest item in Q2. 'Striking a balance between preppy nostalgia and contemporary edge, the popular boat shoes channel a back-to-school sensibility that resonated across markets,' Lyst said. Also notable, The Row achieved its highest index ranking to date, buoyed by the performance of the Dune flip flop, which was the quarter's hottest product. Searches for the $690 shoe rose by 162% this time, with interest rising "significantly" after Jonathan Bailey stepped out in a pair during a June press appearance. Burberry's return after a year out of the top 20 saw it 'effectively capitalising on a resurgent 'cool Britannia' vibe, a strong festival campaign and growing demand for Burberry menswear'. And Chloé is 'creeping up the Top 10, with demand on Lyst up 33% in Q2. The breezy, bohemian Chloé revival continues to gain ground with shoppers worldwide'. See catwalk Meanwhile, H&M Group's COS remains the only high street brand in the Top 10, with 'positioning and demand cemented by [its] critically-acclaimed April runway show'. As usual Lyst also identified three 'Moving Fast' brands and they included a venerable label, Pucci. Endorsed by Hailey Bieber, Addison Rae and Dua Lipa, searches for Pucci increased 96% quarter on quarter. The most wanted pieces for a 'Pucci Girl Summer' were the Marmo and Orchidee swirly halterneck mini dresses, tops and swimsuits. Also strong was Rohe, the Amsterdam-based, minimalist label that saw demand spiking 27%. And eyewear brand Jacques Marie Mage saw a 34% increase in demand, 'reflecting the rising value placed on accessories that carry narrative and craftsmanship'. Product hits As for the hottest products globally, as mentioned, six of the top 10 were shoes. The appearance of the Dune sandals from The Row in top spot was pretty surprising even given the fact that they're an obvious pick for summer. But these shoes come with an ultra-luxury price tag and mimic the kind of flip-flops that can be found anywhere and everywhere. The level of interest in these particular shoes shows just how strong The Row is as a label. Something similar could be said about the number two product, which was a simple cotton ribbed tank top by SKIMS. It spiked 230% this quarter, 'helped by positive TikTok buzz and the continued trend for 'effortless' elevated basics'. It's interesting after those two simple summer classics were in the top two spots that the third place product also fits into that category. It was the Adidas classic sprinter shorts. First seen in the late 1970s, Q2 saw a 121% increase in demand, with celebrity fans including Harry Styles and Bella Hadid. Athletic shorts are a key trend this summer with searches for sports shorts up 78% on Lyst in Q2. Miu Miu's suede loafers were in fourth place as referenced earlier, followed by Vibram's V-Soul flat that saw a 110% increase in traffic. Lyst said 'this continues the hybridisation of performance and fashion we saw in Q1 with Puma 's Speedcat Ballet'. And talking of ballet flats, Ancient Greek Sandals' Iro version was sixth. Juju Vera's shell pendant necklace came in at number seven and we're told it 'signals cultural clout, tapping into the emotional register of handcrafted nostalgia and the ongoing appetite for talismanic, coastal-adjacent jewellery'. Back with shoes, Isabel Marant 's Bekett wedge sneaker was 'the latest shoe to capitalise on a Y2K-fuelled TikTok revival' in eighth place. Demand was up 630% year on year. In ninth place Faithfull The Brand's Hedy staples dress was a clear summer hit and rounding out the top 10, Prada's Collapse Re-Nylon sneakers underscored just how important footwear is this season.

This Almost-Barefoot Style Is The Year's Hottest Trend

The quarterly Lyst index is here once again, and it's packed with fashion insights, including its list of the 20 buzziest brands of the moment. Starting off strong, Miu Miu regained its number-one slot, which it forfeited to Loewe last quarter following a surge in interest due to Jonathan Anderson's departure. Prada, Saint Laurent, and Coach also sat comfortably in the top five, with COS hovering at number seven as the only high-street brand in the ranking—directly behind The Row, at six. The most prominent trend right now? Anything to do with, well, feet. People can't stop talking about where to find this season's hottest, freakiest footwear, how to still stand out while wearing closed-toe shoes in the summer heat, and whether toe rings are really making a comeback. Fashion trends come and go, often in the form of It bags and soon-to-be-forgotten silhouettes (the peplum revival is still waiting patiently in the wings; see: Phoebe Philo's Sugar tops). However, it's rare to see a single body part hold such autonomous power in the sartorial conversation. Out of the top ten hottest items of recent months, six are footwear, including the Vibram Fivefinger shoes (a distant cousin of the Nike Air Rift), Ancient Greek Sandals, Iro ballet flats, and The Row's pricey Dune flip-flops, which surged in popularity after Jonathan Bailey conspicuously sported a pair on a red carpet in London. The closer your foot is to the ground, the better, and extra points for flashing your toes. There's something so nonchalant about balancing an outfit with the an unexpectedly informal shoe—it also signals that you can piece together a look from top to toe. Interestingly, Katie Lubin, VP of brand and communications at Lyst, believes that The Row's hype has never been more widespread, and points to the footwear trend as proof. 'They've hit the sweet spot where minimalist aesthetic meets maximum cultural cachet, creating products that function as both wardrobe staples and status symbols,' she tells ELLE. Across the board, searches for flip-flops are up 68%, with customers unsurprisingly favoring COS, Havaianas, and Tory Burch as less expensive alternatives. (Not on the charts, but a popular honorable mention also goes to Tory Burch's wide range of 'pierced' silhouettes, which have taken over fashion girls' feet with full force, offering a bolder statement in the low-key footwear field.) Also on the 'Hottest Products' list were the Isabel Marant wedge sneakers and Miu Miu's suede logo-embossed boat shoes—two styles that have enjoyed relative longevity in internet years since they began cropping back up in early 2024. If anything, their resurgence, alongside the rise in ballet sneakers (like the Puma Speedcat flats) was a precursor to the footwear-focused trend that was to come. In other news, athletic dressing continued to reign supreme, with Adidas track shorts coming in at number three, no doubt thanks to celebrities like Paul Mescal and Zoë Kravitz, who recently elevated the sporty staple with heeled mules and a Saint Laurent bag. According to Lubin, Burberry also enjoyed a bump on the menswear side, specifically when it came to shirting and swim shorts. Earlier this year, the British brand once again returned to its roots for a festival-inspired campaign starring Cara Delevingne and the Gallagher family—proof that celebrity-endorsed, brand-driven nostalgia can still be enticing in today's fashion sphere.
