You Can't Sit With the Blumarine x Heaven by Marc Jacobs Girls

Heaven by Marc Jacobs is at the epicenter of Gen-Z culture. It understands who to work with — Mia Khalifa, Lil Uzi Vert and Ice Spice, Kiko Kostadinov, and Bladee to name a few — and nothing proves this more than its latest collaboration, here working with Blumarine on a capsule centered around a Y2K love affair.

Consisting of 11 items, the collection brings together highlights from both collaborators’ collections. Together, it’s a wardrobe for the it-person — the kind of fashionista whose clothing collection brings together genuine vintage garments with high-fashion standouts, quirky footwear, teeny tiny sunglasses, and a Heaven by Marc Jacobs bag in tow.

The attitude is evoked through the use of pink camouflage, embroidery on denim, and the ability to mix and match the capsule. T-shirts are cropped and combine dual branding with anime character graphics, denim jackets are cropped beyond the norm, sporting strategically-placed distressing for that enhanced authentic look and feel, while mini skirts are exactly that — mini.

It’s the kind of clothes a young Paris Hilton might have been seen in, but it also channels Barbiecore, perfectly timed given the new Barbie movie. With this, Blumarine x Heaven by Marc Jacobs isn’t just a collection for women, as tank tops, cropped hoodies, chain belts, and a bag could all be used to add an early 2000s heartthrob throwback aesthetic to one’s look.

Speaking on the capsule, Nicola Brognano, Blumarine’s Creative Director, said: “I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this project and had a lot of fun creating this special collection that merges Blumarine and Heaven by Marc Jacobs identities. Each piece of the capsule is a gem and truly reflects today’s spirit, balancing ease and coolness in the most feminine and lighthearted way.”

Ava Nirui, Heaven by Marc Jacobs’ Creative Director, added: “In my teen and college years, I fell in love with the Blumarine brand and aesthetic — it was the ultimate in feminine, aspirational fashion to me. I remember lusting after Blumarine advertisements. There was something very powerful about the way the brand depicted women, and I felt instantly moved by these images. There are so many parallels between Blumarine and Marc Jacobs, then and now, and I think this collection makes total sense for both of us. I love the way Nicola and his team interpreted Marc and the Heaven brand codes in his very Blu way! I’m such a genuine fan of Nicola and his approach to Blumarine, and feel really lucky to have worked with him.”
