Desigual unveils new capsule collection in collaboration with French label Egonlab
Published
November 6, 2025
Barcelona-based brand Desigual is strengthening its ties with the French market. The brand has unveiled a new collaboration with Parisian house Egonlab: a capsule that fuses creative rebellion with the Catalan brand’s signature optimism. The collection, available from November 6 on Desigual’s e-commerce platform and in select stores, brings together the design codes of both brands- defined by a contemporary, audacious aesthetic- for a proposition that further unites Barcelona and Paris.
The capsule has been conceived with a bold outlook, striking a balance between tradition and modernity. Inspired by Egonlab’s signature dualities- masculine and feminine, urban and artisanal- the collection includes pieces such as denim, dresses, jumpers, long coats, trench coats, and a knitted scarf. Prices range from €49.95 for a short-sleeved T-shirt to €699 for a leather jacket with a Mandarin collar.
“Collaborating with Egonlab reflects Desigual’s commitment to continuing to work with international talent whose vision resonates with new generations and supports the brand’s evolution towards a more premium, contemporary positioning,” explained the brand’s product director, Fernanda Blasco. As part of this strategy, Desigual has recently collaborated with cutting-edge names such as New York designer Tyler McGillivary and the brand founded by Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh, Botter.
This partnership strengthens Desigual’s ties with France- one of its key markets- and bolsters its international positioning. Underscoring the importance of this relationship, the collection was unveiled on November 5 at an event held at the brand’s store at 3 Rue des Rosiers in Paris. As part of its commitment to the French market, the brand has also recently joined forces with creators such as Christian Lacroix and Alphonse Maitrepierre.
Founded by Thomas Meyer in 1984 and based in Barcelona, Desigual currently operates more than 280 company-owned stores and has a presence in 107 markets across ten sales channels. In its 2024 financial year, the firm achieved a turnover of €332 million, driven by growth in the online channel and rising international sales.
Egonlab was founded in 2019 by Florentin Glémarec and Kévin Nompeix. Based in Paris, the brand is known for its irreverent spirit, rooted in freedom of expression and fluidity, with creations that bring an eco-responsible approach and a contemporary take on classic fashion codes.

November 6, 2025
UK footwear giant Clarks continues making big steps internationally, now launching three dedicated Cloudsteppers brand standalone concept stores in Southeast Asia and the United States adding a further 10 locations to those regions next year.
And for the first time the brand will introduce women’s and men’s apparel/accessories to its footwear line-up with athleisure lines and a new men’s footwear line also launching in 2026.
The first stores are in Central i-City, Malaysia (which opened on 5 November), the Pavilion, Malaysia, at Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (opening on 7 November) while the Corpus Christ store in Texas opens on 12 December.
Claiming that Cloudsteppers “has earned its reputation as America’s No1 brand in women’s flip-flops, with over 25 million pairs of the iconic Breeze Sea sold globally”, Clarks said it’s building on this success with the concept stores that offer an “immersive retail experience”.
The stores are designed as “calm, welcoming spaces” that allow consumers to explore collections of breathable, ultra-light sneakers, sandals and boots “designed to elevate every off-duty moment”.

Those new stores will introduce casual lifestyle essentials including T-shirts, hoodies, socks, caps and bags and as Cloudsteppers “evolves into a head-to-toe lifestyle offering”, the collection will further expand in 2026 to include athleisure including leggings and windbreaker jackets “all at incredibly accessible prices”.
Peter Quirke, Clarks VP Americas Retail, said: “Launching Cloudsteppers as a standalone experience is a milestone we’re incredibly excited about, and there’s so much more to come in 2026.”
Raymond Chew, general manager SEA, added: “With Southeast Asia’s warmer climate and love for comfort-led footwear and apparel, it’s a perfect match. This store brings an entirely new look to the market.”

Derby’s Primark set for 2027 move into Derbion mall
Published
November 6, 2025
Derby’s premier retail/leisure destination Derbion has signed Primark with the major fashion/lifestyle retailer due to relocate from its city centre store to a prime space within the shopping centre.
Primark said it will remain open on Cornmarket until its new space is ready, estimated for the first half of 2027. The newly curated Derbion space will come with a dedicated entrance on Albion Walk.
Primark has been a feature of the city for over 50 years after opening its first-ever store in Britain in Derby in 1974 and Philippa Nibbs, director of Sales for South & East Region at Primark UK, said: “We’re very proud of our long-standing presence in Derby. Our move to Derbion in 2027 will mark an exciting new chapter in our journey.”
The creation of this new space for Primark is part of a “significant joint investment” by Derbion and Primark with the space’s previous occupants, including Superdrug, H Samuel, The Perfume Shop, having already relocated with new fitouts featuring their latest store formats.
“As a result of the relocations and investment, these retailers are already seeing uplifts in their performance”, noted Derbion.
Primark’s arrival will also prompt a transformation of Boots’ existing store there, allowing a reconfiguration of its store footprint.
Michael Boundy, director of Asset Management at Derbion, said: “The arrival of Primark showcases the confidence which leading brands have in Derbion and adds even more variety into our strong tenant mix. The plans for their new store also highlight the investment retailers are making to create innovative new stores which keep shoppers coming back for more. We can’t wait for their opening as we are sure it will attract visitors from across the region to experience what Derbion has to offer.”
In recent months the shopping centre has also welcomed brands including Victoria’s Secret, Seasalt, and Luke 1977, while Derbion favourites Footlocker, Pandora and Moss have all invested in store upgrades.
