Ludovic de Saint Sernin signs a capsule collection for Zara at affordable prices

Mainstream fashion is opening up to sensual tailoring. With a capsule by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Zara sets a milestone. At Zara, the label promises a clean cut and assertive fabrics.

A capsule of desire, designed for everyday use

The French designer cultivates a carnal, precise style. He works the line to the millimeter and flatters movement. With noble materialsZara seeks sophistication without complicated gestures.

The collection favors a sober palette and straightforward textures. What’s more, volumes remain mobile, as allure must live on the street. Zara plays the confidence card, with pieces that are legible and tactile.

The trench coat in calf leather sets the tone. Matte and supple, it frames the shoulder and lengthens the leg.

“A sensual, wearable wardrobe designed for Zara and the city.

Cut, material, look: the method

The workshops focus on precision. Each flap is joined neatly, and the lining follows the gesture. Zara’s objective remains clear: to offer a clean silhouette, without superfluous effort.

Stacked belts punctuate the waistline and mark the styling. The play of thicknesses creates relief and structures the bust.

• Key materials: calf leather, satin wool, duchesse silk.
• Surface work: stone washing, waxed finishes.
• Silhouette: pronounced waist, soft shoulders, straight lines.
• Palette: deep blacks, warm neutrals, metallic highlights.
• Details: polished nails, controlled shine, discreet fasteners.

Wear is simple yet precise. An open jacket is enough to change the balance of the look. Zara’s proposal favors short, efficient gestures.

Signature pieces, from day to night

Column dresses glide over the body, sculpting a straight look. A minimal collar holds the neck, then the slit frees the step.

The look is built up in layers. A soft blazer is layered over a shiny shirt. Zara assumes a calm sensuality, easy to move from the office to the party.

Loose-fitting suits in satin wools combine a fluid fall with a suit-like look. The material catches the light, but keeps a soft hand.

In a different register, loose-fitting suits in silk duchesses play up the framed brilliance. The lapel remains slim, and the leg extends without stiffness.

Worked textures, pragmatic spirit

Design speaks to the touch. The structures can be read in the grain of the leather and the controlled shine. Zara’s approach combines comfort, wearability and a dose of controlled sexiness.

Stonewashed and waxed denims connect workwear and elegance. A softened blue responds to a shiny film that’s clear to the eye.

The cuts summon several bodies. On the other hand, nothing forces posture: the line is guiding, not confining. The pieces seek a sure balance between assertiveness and ease.

Styling, uses and smart care

The wardrobe is designed in simple modules. A flowing pair of pants accepts a dry sweater, then a shiny jacket. The look gains in visual density, without multiplying the layers. Zara pushes this modular logic to remain practical on a daily basis.

Bare-back tops dotted with polished chrome studs invite skin-to-metal contrast. The back breathes, and the light catches precise points.

To last, you need to be clear about what you’re doing. Leather needs the right milk and regular aeration. Satin-finish wool requires measured dry-cleaning, with cycles spaced at intervals. Finally, silk needs to be stored away from direct light.

In the end, every detail counts. What’s more, the outfit wins when accessories remain straight and well placed. A clean step, a clean hem, and the silhouette takes shape. The proposal is for an easy elegance, worn with care for a long time.
