FRIDA ZAZOU
Expressive and architectural, FRIDA ZAZOU creates clothing for women who dress with intent. Each piece feels like a composition in form and texture, where bold structure meets refined craftsmanship.
At House of Valerie, we’re drawn to how the label redefines modern tailoring through movement and proportion, offering jackets, coats, trousers and dresses that make a statement without excess. Every silhouette carries a sculptural edge - sharp yet fluid, strong yet undeniably feminine.

The result is a collection that balances precision with artistry, designed for the woman who sees clothing as a form of expression.
FRIDA ZAZOU celebrates individuality through structure, creating pieces that command attention quietly, with strength and purpose in every line.

Frequently Asked Questions
FRIDA ZAZOU is an Italian label founded in 2017, known for expressive, architectural clothing that explores proportion, movement and texture. Rather than chasing trends, the brand draws on emotion, memory and its surroundings, combining Italian craftsmanship with silhouettes that feel distinctive but wearable.
AW26 is especially tactile, with earthy browns and soft blush pinks running through velvet, herringbone wool, cashmere-blend knitwear, pinstripes and checks. The collection moves between neat cropped shapes and deliberately oversized coats and jackets, so the interest comes from fabric and proportion rather than excessive detail.
FRIDA ZAZOU is generally generous, but fit depends on the silhouette. Some coats are one size and comfortably work across approximately UK 8–18+, while more fitted pieces are offered in individual sizes. Other styles run from Small through Extra Large. Always check the measurements on the individual product page, as a neat cropped jacket and an oversized coat are designed to fit very differently.
The cropped Ginny is one of the neater FRIDA ZAZOU shapes and works particularly well if you prefer a more fitted or petite-friendly proportion. It comes in Small, Medium and Large; as a guide, a Small is around a UK 8–10. The fabric does not have lots of stretch, so stay closer to your usual size if you want the intended neat fit.
Look for the boxier silhouettes such as the Flora jacket. These are intentionally roomier through the body and give you space to layer knitwear underneath. The contrast between a cropped fitted jacket and a fuller oversized shape is part of what makes the collection so versatile.
Yes. The AW26 trousers have elasticated waistbands, giving the herringbone, velvet and other tailored-looking fabrics a much easier feel on the body. The leg shapes vary, so you can choose between fuller wide or balloon proportions and more tapered silhouettes.
Texture is one of the strongest stories of the season. Expect velvet and crushed velvet, herringbone wool blends, cashmere-blend knitwear, pinstripes and checks. These fabrics are designed to be layered together, so a tonal outfit still has plenty of depth.
Use texture and proportion as the link. Try a fitted cropped jacket with a fuller trouser, an oversized coat over soft knitwear, or mix herringbone with velvet rather than keeping every fabric the same. The earthy brown and blush palette makes tonal dressing particularly easy.
FRIDA ZAZOU sits beautifully alongside PAS DE CALAIS, MANUELLE GUIBAL, HANNOH WESSEL and AEQUAMENTE. They share an understated approach to luxury, natural-feeling textures and relaxed layering, making it easy to cross-style pieces rather than wearing one designer head to toe.
Yes. Although the brand is known for expressive proportions, the collection is not exclusively oversized. Cropped, more fitted jackets such as the Ginny can work particularly well on a smaller frame, while the more generous coats and jackets are there if you want a stronger oversized silhouette.
