Zara has launched its own in-house label which focuses on high-end design and artisanal skill. The aptly named
Zara Atelier collection will drop two, limited-edition collections a year which offer an 'elevated, artistic interpretation of an iconic wardrobe staple' in what is essentially the high street brand's homage to couture.
The first Zara Atelier collection dropped on Friday, December 10, consisting of
six elegant coats featuring opulent embellishments. The looks were captured beautifully by none other than the iconic Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi.
'The first capsule takes coats as its subject – and gives them the decadent treatment,' the company said in a statement.
'Spanning dreamy, decorative cocktail coats for evening and densely-worked poncho and overcoat styles for day, the six-piece outerwear capsule is replete with couture touches – a marabou-trimmed collar here, a sequin-embroidered lapel there – mixed with modern, wearable shapes.'
The capsule of Zara Atelier
coats, which has been produced in very limited quantities, is crafted from premium fabrics and further elevated with opulent details including satin piping, marabou feather trims, intricate embroidery and elegantly sparkling sequins.
