This year, we saw celebs, major designers, and favorite labels hitting department stores and chains in the form of fashionable collaborations. Among the standouts of 2010, Madonna brought her Material Girl to Macy's, Mulberry's classic handbags headed to Target, and Alexa Chung created a signature style line for Madewell. But that was hardly the end of it; closing out the year, Valentino brought its femme confections to Gap, and Lanvin for H&M took the fashion world by storm. Each crush-worthy collab delivered new looks to love, but it's time to cast your vote for the one that made you go gaga — what's the best fashion collaboration of the year?

Gisele Bundchen may no longer be an angel, but she still oozes out-of-this-world sex appeal. In her latest editorial for Vogue Italia's December 2010 issue, Gisele steps in front of Steven Meisel's camera and does what she does best — poses like there's no tomorrow. Swathed in the likes of Miu Miu, Max Mara, and Michael Kors — not to mention plastic and latex — she works all the angles, and convinces us that rubber may actually be the new "it" fabric. Click through to see all the plastic pics.

To celebrate its upcoming new flagship store in Milan’s Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Gap has teamed up with one of Italy's finest, Valentino, to create a capsule collection that is bound to be coveted by every fashion fan. Creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have used "iconic Gap pieces" as the basis for the line, which launches in late November.
Unfortunately for US shoppers, the pieces will only be sold at the Milan store, at Gap on Oxford Street and at Dover Street Market in London, and at Colette in Paris. But, fret not Americans, there's always eBay. Keep your eyes peeled — I know I will!
