Zara crowns its 50th-anniversary celebrations with the launch of a multi-category collection created in collaboration with fifty globally renowned creatives. The lineup spans multiple industries, including fashion (with Pierpaolo Piccioli), music (with Rosalía), photography (with Steven Meisel and David Sims), makeup (with Pat McGrath), and film (with Pedro Almodóvar and Luca Guadagnino).

The collection, which will be officially launched on October 6 in select stores and on Zara’s e-commerce site, features a diverse range of items — from jackets and chairs to bags, sleeping bags, and pet accessories. The initiative “perfectly sums up the spirit of the brand and its commitment to working with the best design and creative talent, making that work accessible to many,” the brand says in a statement, which also notes that the selected lineup includes the brand’s own design team.
“It is an honor that these artists have chosen to celebrate our anniversary with us in this way,” said Marta Ortega Pérez, non-executive chair of Inditex. “Each of them is a leading figure in their field for their imagination, innovation and integrity. They share the same passions that Zara has had since the beginning: quality and the enjoyment of design,” she added.
Each piece in the collection aims to “encapsulate the unique spirit of its creator.” Highlights include an aviator jacket by photographer David Bailey, a beanie covered in badges conceived by stylist Harry Lambert (a regular collaborator with the brand, who has just unveiled his third capsule with Zara), a vanity case designed by makeup artist Pat McGrath, a series of drinking glasses by industrial designer Marc Newson, and a pet carrier by photographer Steven Meisel. “Each object, conceived as a collector’s item, offers Zara’s audience exceptional access to the world of these creators,” the brand notes.

In an exhibition curated by Sarah Andelman, the space will showcase 50 designs and be accompanied by a program of talks featuring some of the collaborators.
Proceeds from the sale of these items will benefit the non-profit organization Women’s Earth Alliance, which aims to protect the environment by empowering women’s leadership. In parallel, and according to the company, Zara will donate €20,000 to 50 charities chosen by the participating artists.

Puma is continuing its fruitful fashion-meets-sport collab with UK streetwear brand Represent, this time “rewriting the playbook of basketball-inspired staples”.
Puma x Represent
Fusing “Heritage Hoops Energy with Modern Streetwear”, it brings the two brands neatly together with a campaign fronted by German NBA star Dennis Schröder who “embodies the collection’s balanced fusion of court performance and off-court style”.
The “simple yet elevated collection” spans footwear and apparel that’s “highlighted by expressive and detailed cut-and-sew designs”, as well as a fresh interpretation of Puma’s All-Pro Nitro 2 sneaker.
Its “court-ready” Jersey and Shorts debut comes with a newly designed Puma x Represent graphic, featuring mesh construction and contrasting trim “that nods to retro game-day uniforms”.
The range is, of course, accompanied by “courtside essentials” including a Graphic T-Shirt and Hoodie, “pieces that bring bold visual detailing to the championship collaboration”.
A Coach Jacket and accompanying Pants also “comprise comfortable warm-up layers with everyday wearability”.
For footwear, Puma x Represent presents a re-envision All-Pro Nitro 2, a performance design underpinned by “explosive Nitro cushioning and a lightweight Ultraweave upper”. The black and white two-tone colourway is punctuated by subtle logo hits on the heel and tongue.
Complementing one of Puma’s “most modern examples of basketball performance technology”, the collection brings “a touch of ‘80s flair with the low-top Majesty”.
