Zara has just brought out the ultimate basics collection
Introducing the Zara Origins collection, a high-end collection of contemporary classics which will help you achieve the perfect capsule wardrobe of basics which transcends all trends.
The collection is built up of 205 pieces, including raw denim jackets, tailoring, shirting, cashmere and coats in neutral shades, designed with no specific gender in mind.
It has been two years in the making. In 2019, Zara set itself the challenge to rethink the process and product of clothes design from scratch.

The aim was to identify the most important and popular garments for shoppers, regardless of gender, in the global wardrobe, thanks to Zara shopping data. It then set about re-imagining these pieces with a luxurious and long-lasting finish.
The materials used are both durable and traceable, and they include salvaged denim, pure cashmere and wool, leather and more, and all are manufactured to the highest standards of expertise and craft.
Pieces work separately and together to form a versatile and minimal cornerstone of any outfit. Think everything from socks to trainers, trench coats to the perfect white t-shirt.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.
Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
