/KASSL x ZARA Democratic Style Fall 2021 Collab Lensed by Bibi Cornejo Borthwick AOC Fashion
KASSL was launched in 2017 by four friends: Bart Ramakers, Ilse Cornelisses and her husband Tim van Geloven, owners of the Antwerp concept store Graanmarkt 13, and Charlotte Schreuder, now the CEO of KASSL. Graanmarkt 13 is a restaurant, high-end concept store and top-floor apartment with hotel services in Antwerp, Belgium.
Based in Amsterdam KASSL Editions only produces coats — and now bags — inspired by utility jackets and meticulously handmade to last from fabrics like oilcloth and rubber. All KASSLcoats come in both short and long lengths in neutral colors that never go out of fashion. Each coat carries a unique number and stamp of authenticity.
Co-founder Bart Ramakers, describes the KASSL philosophy as an intention to market a product that transcends gender, age and social background. Ramakersuses descriptive words of “refined yet unpolished, luxurious, qualitative, democratic and timeless” to describe the brand. The influence of a harsh German visual culture permeates the designs, produced by the same German manufacturer who produces “everything for the German police force and fire brigade.”
Recently, KASSL has launched a home and furniture collection of carefully-designed essentials inspired by the same design DNA of the original fisherman raincoats.
In September, KASSL x ZARA was introduced with its focus on classic coats, sporty separates and accessories and homewares. Top models Malgosia Bela and Selena Forrest showcase the collection, styled by Gijsje Ribbens, who also serves as art director on the production.

/The V Time Magazine Travels the World for Fall 2020's Best Coats by Chris Colls
In this tediously-long year of challenge and heartache, June-July seems like forever ago. Fashion world was adjusting to lockdowns, mask-wearing, and the prospect of virtual fashion shows. Remote fashion shoots — where we had any fashion shoots — were increasingly common, as models took control of their own images and technological equipment.
Certain magazines went the extra mile in an effort to prove what was possible under difficult circumstances. Enter The V Time Machine. New York-based photographer Chris Colls, who quarantined in Soho, found a life-size, collapsible “studio” that was shipped around the world, with stops in Amsterdam, Greece’s Aegean Islands and Ibiza.
