I Have Alaïa Taste on a Zara Budget—17 Pieces That Will Make Me Look Much Richer Than I Am

As a fashion editor, I'm often asked what my favourite designer brands are, so for a while now, I've had a pre-prepared list in my head ready to rattle off. They've all been firm favourites for some time, but recently, there's been a new addition: Alaïa.
Obsessed with the brand's unique silhouettes and bold designs, Alaïa's recent collections have hugely influenced my daily dressing of late, encouraging the sleeker and more striking side of my style. Unfortunately for me though, my budget doesn't stretch as far as I might like it to, which is why I decided to research where I can find pieces that have the same vibe but at a much more accessible price point.
I wasn't searching for long before I found Zara's new-in section. With items that look much more directional than elsewhere on the high street, whilst it will never come close to the real designer deal, Zara can help me achieve the high-end payoff I want from my outfits without bankrupting myself. However, in the name of mindful shopping, I would implore you to shop Zara (and any other brand) with acute consideration. In the interest of doing the same, I've kept my below edit discerning and concise.
Hosting plenty of items that resemble the elegant styles I've come to admire, scroll on to discover the Zara finds that give a good impression of Alaïa.
