Tracing Carmelo Anthony’s journey through high-profile collaborations

Carmelo Anthony is making high-profile collabs his thing, and he’s doing it with serious style. Like with 1800 Tequila, he teamed up with them for a limited-edition holiday apparel drop, which had varsity jackets, hoodies, and signature cocktails. The launch went down at Madison Square Garden, which pretty much says it all about the exclusivity of the launch. In essence, he’s mixing fashion, lifestyle, and premium spirits like it’s second nature.

Melo also starred in Moët & Chandon’s “Greatness Under Pressure” campaign, right alongside other icons, demonstrating the same attitude off the hardwood that made him a legend on it. He’s also worked with Cincoro Tequila, yes, the one co-founded by MJ, which keeps him tight with the luxury crowd. 

Then there’s his wine brand, 7th Estate, which was a passion project he co-founded that blends his love for good wine, culture, and living well. Anthony believes, “It’s about branding and messaging. We want to elevate the culture and offer meaningful, elevated luxury. I wanted to tap into that gray area that beverage companies aren’t exploring—bridging fashion and wine in a more intimate setting.” 

In fashion, he keeps things interesting, collaborating with Ermenegildo Zegna while not forgetting the streets through his collab with Famous Nobodys. He manages to move effortlessly between high-end tailoring and bold, urban style. Let’s not forget his jewelry game, always on point. He’s a big supporter of Black-owned brands and wears custom pieces that turn heads. At this point, Melo’s not just collaborating, he’s curating a whole lifestyle.

Since Melo is no stranger to high-profile collaborations, his new collaboration with David Yurman comes as no shock. It manages to encapsulate elegance with style with Kiyan alongside Melo and La La watching close by.
