Zara has revealed its first ever celebrity collaboration

Zara has introduced its first ever celebrity collaboration, the Zara x Charlotte Gainsbourg collection.

Charlotte is of course a famous French singer, songwriter and actress, and the daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, and a fashion icon like her model and actress mother.

In particular, her signature look often involves denim, which is prevalent in the collection.

'I have a passion for jeans and I have always wanted to have a tiny collection of what I wear day-to-day. It is very straightforward and it is exactly what I put on,' says Charlotte.

She has sourced and collected countless pairs over the years, ever since she saw her father wearing them. As a result, she honed her tastes for the collection, which shows denim in two styles: an extra-long, relaxed fit in black and a shorter jean with a flared cut in a dark blue wash. Other denim pieces include an ample over-shirt in a vintage-inspired wash, and a Western-style shirt.

But the collection doesn't stop at jeans, it also includes a 70s trench and two jackets, one slightly oversized in corduroy that Charlotte referenced from her father’s wardrobe, and the other, more tailored and masculine.

Then you've got all your basics: a long-sleeved sweater, transparent, jersey T-shirts, a visible triangle bra. For accessories, a slouchy leather backpack and a round-toe ankle boot in supple leather that adds polished edge.

The collection is available to shop now.

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.
