At Zara’s invitation, Narciso Rodriguez selected 25 iconic pieces from his archive to reproduce for an exclusive collection.
Since Covid, Rodriguez has been keeping busy with film and television projects, celebrity dressing, and private clients, as well as his uber-successful fragrances. His connection to Zara goes back to his days as creative director at the Spanish leather specialist Loewe, circa 2000. “Zara was already really growing quickly, and I developed this great relationship with the [Ortega] family,” he says. “You know, my goal has always been to dress as many women as possible, and Zara does that.
This bustier and skirt are modeled on pieces from one of Rodriguez’s earliest collections, for fall 1998.At Zara’s invitation, Rodriguez selected 25 iconic pieces from his archive to reproduce. The resulting collection is not just a testament to the consistency of Rodriguez’s exacting, yet sensual vision, but also an antidote to the nylon-Lycra blends that dominate contemporary wardrobes and a reminder of the pleasure that can be had in looking pulled together.
Even better, he adds, was seeing the old collections through such enthusiastic eyes. “The love of fashion and the knowledge and the excitement for what they do there is really impressive. The young people at Zara know everything that’s going on in the world of fashion and they really enjoy it. I remember that well from my own youth.”
Among the archival pieces he’s revived for the capsule, there’s an embroidered slip dress from the spring 1997 Rodriguez-designed Cerruti show, which took place just days after the designer became a household name for making the wedding dress Carolyn Bessette wore to marry John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996.
