This Is What John Galliano's Zara Looks Like

The project began in January and turns Zara archive pieces into new designs, with Galliano calling the approach a form of innovation.

  • Zara launches the Zara Authored collection with Couturier John Galliano on Thursday, reworking existing garments to discover something new while LVMH retains legal brand rights.
  • The partnership began in 2022 when Couturier John Galliano met Inditex chair Marta Ortega in Spain, with their relationship blossoming after a Steven Meisel exhibition at her MOP Foundation.
  • Couturier John Galliano describes the collection as "an innovation—this idea of going in and treating their existing garments," questioning "what denotes an archive" in fast-paced fashion.
  • Reflecting on his friend Alber Elbaz, who was "always super excited about doing something for the high street," Galliano developed the concept after leaving Maison Margiela in 2024.
  • Marta Ortega's support proved decisive for the Zara Authored concept; "Marta really supports creativity," Galliano says, noting her fashion obsession enabled the collaboration to proceed.
