Zara celebrates its 50th year in business, putting Steven Meisel [IG] behind the lens, capturing fashion’s top models in a celebration of creativity, longevity and love for fashion.

The 50-models ensemble is also featured on a special-edition tee that benefits the Women’s Earth Alliance [link]. The 128-piece collection created around the celebration features monochromatic wardrobe essentials with a lot of black which is obvious in the imagery. See the Zara 50th anniversary collection online.

AOC has done some homework on this 50 Years of Zara post, which is now subdivided into two parts: Part 1 here, focused on the models and Part 2 focused on Zara’s new store design and product strategy. It also features other ZARA X MEISEL COLLABORATIONS.

ZARA WOMAN STUDIO FALL 2021 COLLECTION

This is not the first time that Zara and Steven Meisel got together for a bit of top-model self-expression. This Zara Woman | Studio Fall ‘21 Collection is similar vintage to Zara’s 50 Years celebration video.

AOC Archives of ZARA 50 YEARS CELEBRATION MODELS

80% of the Zara models are included in the AOC Model Archives, along with photography by Steven Meisel. We’ve given you direct links to models featured in the campaign right here. I doubt we will tag 50 models, so this post appears in their archives. Thinking . . . thinking.
