The Inditex-owned chain continues with its collaborations. On November 25, Zara unveiled the second installment of its collaborative venture with Nick Wakeman’s label, previously introduced last year. This limited edition collection includes clothing for women, men, and home decor, exclusively available through Zara’s website.
“Surpassing boundaries with innovative fabrics and natural materials has been the cornerstone of our collaboration, and it’s something I take immense pride in. We’ve strived to source high-quality textiles. Quality in fabric has always been a priority for me since I founded Studio Nicholson in 2010,” explained Nick Wakeman, the brand’s founder and creative director, regarding the partnership.
The new line, also available in select stores from Monday, November 27, merges the styles of the fashion giant with Studio Nicholson. Placing a significant emphasis on sustainability, the women’s section of the capsule includes “deconstructed classics with a progressive twist,” featuring highlights such as an organic cotton quilted trench coat, knitwear crafted from recycled cashmere blends, and even boots and clogs.
Meanwhile, the men’s offering comprises modern and sophisticated pieces, such as voluminous wool trousers sustainably sourced, a recycled polyester jacket, and an urban-style wool and nylon coat.
Speaking about the home decor line, Wakeman stated, “This is another exciting area Zara invited us to explore. The range includes a marble lamp with a paper shade, a blanket made of the same RWS-certified wool as that in the men’s and women’s collection, and modular objects for multiple uses. I wanted these pieces to elevate our homes, our spaces,” explaining her vision that furniture should be “complementary items designed to bring new texture and interest to a room, much like layering in a modular wardrobe from one season to another.”
This new partnership adds to the series of collaborations aimed at fueling Zara’s growth. Among its recent notable collaborations were a capsule collection created with British stylist Harry Lambert earlier in November and the renewal of its partnership with designer Rhuigi Villaseñor, among others.
Established in 1974, the fashion chain is part of Inditex’s brand portfolio, alongside Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Oysho, Zara Home, and Lefties.
According to its latest financial results, Zara, which presents its outcomes in conjunction with Zara Home, recorded a 13.1% increase in net sales in the first half of its current fiscal year, reaching 12.362 billion euros.
