Catch Up On February’s Most Crucial Fashion News

February often gets a bad rap. The weather isn’t the most pleasant and it’s always dark outside by the time you wrap up your workday (yeah, really not selling it here...), but from a sartorial POV the shortest month of the year is the most exciting, too. Over the next few weeks, you can expect plenty of buzzy February fashion news to hit your social media feed, from must-have brand collaborations to visually-pleasing brand campaigns. And that’s not even counting all the incredible fashion month posts you’re about to witness when NYFW commences.

Speaking of campaigns, Burberry’s latest is already stirring up lots of chit-chat among the style set. Its Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee launched his first campaign for the label on Feb. 6, since taking the helm in September 2022. Consider the talked-about imagery a good indication of what’s to come from his highly anticipated debut collection during LFW on Feb. 20. On the collab front, you won’t want to miss Sézane x Sea New York’s newest partnership. Together, the two fashion girl-favorite labels fuse their cheery aesthetics to present a joyful, print-happy collection. Pro tip: If you missed out on its first partnership, which sold out in 24 hours(!), don’t sleep on this one, as it’s sure to be equally as successful.

To help you stay in the loop, TZR rounded up the biggest February fashion news to know, below. Note: This story will be updated with more must-know style details until the end of the month —you’re welcome.
