15 gift ideas for women on Zalando
A pair of boots by David Koma, a GmBH asymmetric leather dress, a Hello Kitty x GCDS bra, a Vivienne Westwood “Yasmine” bag, a Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini coat… Numéro has selected the best Christmas gifts for women to secure an ultra-fashionable look and, we hope, genuine reactions.
Zalando, the place to find unique pieces from young designers and luxury brands
As the Christmas holidays are just around the corner and gift shopping sprees are more intense, Zalando is the perfect alternative for unique luxury and young designer pieces.
No need to get lost in the Parisian pop-up stores of Le Marais district since Numéro has listed fifteen pieces from young designers and major fashion houses available on the online platform to gift or treat yourself to during this festive season.
An asymmetrical GmBH dress
While it resembles one of the black ensembles seen on GmBH’s latest bold runway show, this crocodile-print synthetic leather piece reinvents the traditional little black dress in a sexy, rock’n’roll version. From the asymmetric straps to the geometric cut of the skirt and the back neckline, these bold details make this dress an excellent choice for the festive season.
Black asymmetric dress by GmBH, €482 euros on Zalando.
David Koma tall boots
If you are still unable to make up your mind between strappy pumps and tall boots, David Koma has come up with the perfect winter alternative. Recently appointed artistic director of the trendy Italian brand Blumarine, the Georgian designer cultivates a glamorous Y2K aesthetic, which this pair of shoes translates perfectly with their shiny leather, stiletto heels, knee-high shape and little buckles adorning the feet. To sum up, these boots are an ultra-modern fashion statement.
David Koma high boots, €1505 on Zalando.
The Yasmine bag by Vivienne Westwood
Unveiled at the Vivienne Westwood 1987-1988 fashion show, the Yasmine bag has since become an iconic piece. Named after French designer Yasmine Eslami, who was close to the British designer in the 1980s, it combines all the signature codes of the house – tartan pattern, chains, of course, the embroidered orb… A timeless fashion essential that follows any trend season after season.
Vivienne Westwood “Yasmine” bag, €460 euros on Zalando.
A ring by Lorette Colé Duprat
The rising star on the fashion scene Lorette Colé Duprat designs stunning, adjustable jewellery that embraces unexpected parts of the body. The French designer who won over designer Casey Cadwallader – she created a jewellery collection for Mugler in 2019 – now offers bold, colourful pieces that stand out, like this silver ring adorned with strange purple pills.

A Hello Kitty bra by GCDS
GCDS’s subversive collections cultivate an aesthetic at the crossroads between pop culture and playful fashion, featuring pieces that are all the rage on social media every season. From SpongeBob to Pokémon and Hello Kitty, their creations reimagine the fictional characters we knew as kids and propel them into our grown-up world. Unveiled during the Fall/Winter 2023-2024 show, this ultra-sexy bra transforms the kawaii cat into a sultry fashion accessory to be worn under a suit jacket or over a white T-shirt for those more sensitive to the cold.
Hello Kitty Bra by GCDS, €450 on Zalando.
Rokh’s skirt trousers
Launched by Rok Hwang in 2016, Rokh is a cutting-edge reference in fashion that shines for its straightforward cuts and powerful tailoring. Building on the success of his latest collaboration with H&M, the South Korean designer is developing a super appealing, unisex officewear wardrobe. These skirt trousers are one example – they have enough coverage to take on the winter, yet they are chic enough to be worn for both everyday looks and impromptu nights out.
Skirt trousers by Rokh, €329 on Zalando.
A new generation Polaroid
Vintage has been making a comeback in the world of photography for several years now. Even Apple with the multiple filters available on its latest iPhones can’t recreate the effect of a good old Polaroid. The Now Gen 2 Set is a great gift idea for yourself or to please any photography lover, as it allows you to create nice, little instant paper memories to hang on your wall or keep in a photo album.
Polaroid Now Gen 2 Set, €149 euros on Zalando.
Derbies by MSGM
From nepo baby to weird girl aesthetics, MSGM is a trend-setter with numerous original, statement pieces that make an undeniable impact on any every look.

These imposing and beautiful shoes are perfect to get through the rainy winter in the French capital.
Derbies by MSGM, €267 on Zalando.
The 1970 phone case by Rabanne
While Rabanne caused a sensation by covering his 1969 model in gold, thus unveiling the most expensive bag in the world at the last Paris Fashion Week, Zalando is offering a more affordable version… for mobile phones – a mini version of the accessory that can be worn like one of the brand’s elegant, iconic handbags.
The 1970 phone case by Rabanne, €443 on Zalando.
A Sexpensive T-shirt by Carne Bollente
For those who want to flaunt a bold, sexy style without showing too much skin, the creations of the playful, queer brand Carne Bollente are the perfect option, especially its “Sexpensive” tee – a small tank top, suitable for all body shapes, with a small rhinestone print reading “Sex”. Simple, effective and sultry.

The double lasso ring by Charlotte Chesnais
Winner of the ANDAM accessories prize in 2015, designer Charlotte Chesnais cultivates an elegant, original aesthetic with her jewellery brand, inspired by the 1990s and the time she spent with Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga. Wrapping two fingers around a single curve, this silver and gold-plated ring is a great addition to any outfit and flatters any style.

Heart Scarf by Moschino
Appreciated for its fun, colourful wardrobe, Moschino’s collections are full of bold accessories that add to any outfit. Gone are the days of delicate silk scarves or plain scarves, now the Italian fashion house has come up with a red and pink scarf with little hearts prints and topped here and there with their signature teddy bear – super cute.
Heart Scarf by Moschino, €170 euros on Zalando.
The Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini jacket
Both full-coverage and imposing, this two-tone jacket by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini is just like the label – resolutely elegant, but above all very modern. With its immaculate removable collar and shiny black leather, this jacket protects against the cold and ensures a sharp look.
The jacket by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, €966 on Zalando.
The Victoria Beckham T-shirt
While Victoria Beckham seduces us each season with her sharp-cut, ultra-seductive dresses, a T-shirt from her latest collection, available from Zalando, is sure to be a hit… Simple both in colour and shape, it features a phrase uttered by the British designer in her documentary broadcast on Netflix, which has since then taken social media by storm: “My dad has a Rolls-Royce”. A fun, pop-culture piece that will appeal to fashionistas and fans of the star alike.
