If 'French fashion editor' sounds like a category of clothing you'd like to invite into your wardrobe, Zara has good news. It's just launched its second collection with Emmanuelle Alt - the former editor-in-chief of Vogue France - which is filled with wear-forever pieces are basically the cornerstones of her wardrobe. The capsule's name, Into The Classic, tells you everything you need to know about what to expect, namely simple yet striking outerwear that will go the distance, lived-in denim and lots (and lots) of blazers that, paired with one of the range's scoop-neck drawstring T-shirts, is still weather-appropriate despite the fact that it's almost November.
