Cara Delevingne just made her acting debut this week in the British made-for-TV movie Timeless, and now she's trying her hand at designing. Proof that this girl is way, way more than just a pair of bold eyebrows.

There are so many reasons to love Cara, and the announcement that she's designing a capsule collection with DKNY is just the latest.

The 15-piece collection hits stores at the end of October, and will feature unisex pieces like beanies, tanks and tees and a leather bomber jacket. Prices will run from $70 for the beanie up to $735 for a leather jacket.

"They always encouraged my design input, my personal style and my ideas from the very beginning of our working relationship," said Cara of DKNY to WWD. "DKNY is urban and edgy but, most of all, it's individual. They truly embrace the weirdness in all of us, so you can really be yourself."

Cara has a massive Instagram following—5.5 million!—which is impressive for any celebrity, but particularly a runway model.

Fellow Burberry model and bestie Suki Waterhouse has just over 300,000 Insta followers, for comparison. So, it's not surprising that there is also a social media bent to Cara's DKNY capsule collection.

Aspiring models will have the chance to be cast by Cara herself for a DKNY photo shoot. The 21-year-old supermodel posted a message on her Instagram account, explaining:

"Guys! So, I created a sick special-edition collection with @donnakarandkny coming later this year, and I WANT YOU to be in the campaign with me! I'm CASTING for a few lucky fans to come to New York City and model my new #DKNY collection in a special photo shoot with me."
