Zara has announced its first ever designer collaboration

It's the news we've all been waiting for: a Zara designer collaboration is finally happening. Zara and Zara home have collaborated with KASSL Editions for an outerwear and homeware collection, which will launch on 12th September, so make sure you set those reminders.

If you're unfamiliar with KASSL Editions, the designer label is known for its minimalist and modern creations, which includes beautifully cut trench coats, puffy 'pillow' bags, as well as homeware that regularly graces the pages of interior design magazines.

In keeping with this ethos, the KASSL EDITIONS X ZARA collection is centred around modern textiles and shapes. It includes a nappa leather and padded jacket with contrast seams, a roomy rainwear in lightweight nylon and a coat which comes in rich shades of burgundy and navy, as well as a blanket scarf in cashmere and satin.

Completing the uniform, you'll find an oversized soft leather t-shirt and leather pyjama pant combination, as well as accessories and footwear.

Meanwhile, the home capsule collection includes wood side tables, cupboard units and rugs in block colours with a modular interior take, as well as raw-edged notebooks, silk screen printed artwork, mirrors, angular ceramic lamp bases and the iconic pillow sofa.

You'll be able to shop the homeware online and in store, but the fashion will only be available online, and in limited numbers, so you'll need to be quick on this one. See you on 12th September.

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.
