Apart from H&M, I think Zara is one 'premium' highstreet store that really up to the game when setting a trend for the big masses out there. This time around the new collection is truly amazing. Not just a lot of neutrals, greys and a hint of colors here and there; but there's a new array of brilliantly 'engineered' design which you don't normally found at highstreet stores. From the meshy lightweight knitwear to the chunky one that won't wear you down, to the luscious fabric which is so breathable and felt utterly soft to touch. There's a lot of designers-influenced too like from Bottega Veneta, Marni, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci. And the cut - you've got selection either the slouchy, relaxed one to the body-con, figure-skimming pieces. In short - they're all splendid!
Some of the clothes that I tried include the short-sleeved cardigan which is amazing. What is interesting is it really look like the one by Marni that I found at Matches Fashion. The fit is brilliant and the fabric is so cooling.
I love this tee which is very cheeky coz they got scribbles like someone's been jotting down some 'contacts' on it, like "meeting this and this at this time", "this person phone number"..etc..etc. So fun.
This cardi which is featured in the February Lookbook is great since dip-dye is a huge trend for spring/summer. I love the fit though it is quite 'hugging' on the sleeves.
Other pieces include the 'politically-correct' statement tee, the vest which i think very Bottega Veneta-influenced, and some stripe long- and short-sleeved tees. But the one that I really like is the knitwear which happens to be the highlight of overall collection though coz they're such brilliant design. Simple but they appear to be quite 'meshy' - some with fish-net feel on the back, other with very light and peeking and some look very high-end, catwalk influenced too.
Overall, the new collections is awesome. And oh, when I said 'hate' what I really mean is I looooove them!! =)
