John Galliano Signs Two-Year Creative Partnership With Zara

The project signals Zara’s push toward higher-end, curator-led fashion under Marta Ortega Pérez.

Overview

  • Zara says Galliano will reinterpret its archives by deconstructing and reconfiguring past-season pieces through a couture‑inspired process.
  • The first collection is scheduled to arrive in stores in September 2026, with seasonal releases planned throughout the partnership.
  • Galliano has been developing the work in a private studio near Paris since January.
  • He frames the brief as “rewriting” Zara’s recent history and as an opportunity to bring his ideas to a much broader audience.
  • The collaboration grew from his connection to Marta Ortega Pérez via her MOP foundation’s cultural programs.
