The Best Southeast Asian and Global Brands Collaborations Right Now
A wave of Southeast Asian collaborations is reshaping the global fashion landscape, pairing local imagination with international power
Southeast Asia is experiencing a surge of collaboration energy that is reshaping how local labels position themselves within the global fashion ecosystem. These partnerships reveal a region that is increasingly confident in its creative voice and comfortable working with international heavyweights.
The results range from nostalgic reinterpretations to bold acts of reinvention, each project offering a different glimpse into how Southeast Asian brands are rewriting the dynamics of influence and access.
DIRTY COINS x THE ROLLING STONES
Vietnam
Dirty Coins has collaborated with The Rolling Stones on a capsule of tees and apparel featuring the band’s signature tongue logo. The Vietnamese label announced an early December 2025 drop through a coordinated social media rollout.
The collaboration shows how local streetwear brands are licensing global music IP to build cultural credibility across the region. Visuals of the tongue motif and evidence of fast sellouts on local channels have already driven strong engagement.
AGELESS GALAXY x WRANGLER
Indonesia
Ageless Galaxy and Wrangler have produced a capsule that combines Americana workwear with Indonesia’s youth-driven street culture. The collaboration demonstrates how Southeast Asian labels can reinterpret heritage denim in ways that feel grounded in local stories.
PROUDRACE x ADIDAS
Philippines
adidas Philippines partnered with Proudrace designer Rik Rasos on a capsule that centers on the Jabbar silhouette and tees inspired by Filipino memory. The drop arrived in late November 2025 through select adidas stores, the adidas app and partner retailers.
The collection includes thoughtful details such as tablecloth-inspired prints and an “I Miss You” stamp that tie the shoes to familiar Filipino textures and nostalgia.
DBTK x GARAPATA x H&M
Philippines
DBTK and Filipino artist Garapata collaborated with H&M Philippines on a capsule that merges accessible streetwear with local illustration. The project was first released in 2023 and was revived through later drops across select stores.
The pieces were supported by an H&M editorial and a DBTK lookbook that documented the partnership’s aesthetic direction.
DRY CLEAN ONLY x ADIDAS
Thailand
Dry Clean Only and adidas have created a special Samba OG design that reflects the Bangkok label’s reputation for upcycling and high craft. The Fall 2025 sneaker features black and gold details, Thai script, and Muay Thai-themed charms.
PESTLE & MORTAR x KFC
Malaysia
Pestle & Mortar Clothing collaborated with KFC Malaysia in 2019 on a streetwear capsule collection featuring tees, hoodies, and hats. The pieces celebrated KFC’s place in Malaysian pop culture and sold out quickly at launch events.
Some of the most notable collaborations include Dirty Coins x The Rolling Stones in Vietnam, Ageless Galaxy x Wrangler in Indonesia, Proudrace x adidas in the Philippines, DBTK x Garapata x H&M in the Philippines, Dry Clean Only x adidas in Thailand, and Pestle & Mortar x KFC in Malaysia.
These collaborations allow local brands to amplify their cultural reach, gain credibility, and reinterpret heritage and nostalgia in ways that feel regionally relevant. They also highlight the growing influence of Southeast Asian design on the global market.
Products are available through the brands’ own stores, selected retail partners, pop-up events, and official online channels. For example, Proudrace x adidas is sold in select adidas stores in the Philippines and through the adidas app.
Pay attention to limited editions, storytelling details, and local cultural references. Pieces that integrate narrative-driven design, like Filipino memory prints or Muay Thai accents, often hold both aesthetic and collectible value.
