Zara has a special place in the heart of every high street enthusiast. So when news hit that the retailer was issuing archive pieces from 1996 - 2012, with slight tweaks for now, the excitement/fear of missing out was immediately palpable
Along with some seriously nostalgic campaign imagery - featuring heroes of the ‘90s Amber Valletta, Carolyn Murphy and Kate Moss (Kate Moss!) - the collection contains all the minimalist classics you might expect like a collared poplin shirt, a black column dress with ever-so-slightly capped sleeves, and a single-breasted black coat that just about reaches that sweet spot between mid-calf and ankle.
Reissued from the autumn 2003 campaign - fronted by Moss - there’s a sweetheart-neckline black dress (which we can totally see the supermodel wearing with a vintage sequinned cape and scraped-back hair) and some buckle-waisted leather kick flare trousers that would look on-point with a simple black turtleneck. The entire collection capitalises on the fact that not only do trends come around like clockwork - the campaign from 1996 features some squared-toed knee-high boots, the exact style that's currently all over the high street - but that what you buy should last for decades.
Without further ado, here’s the entire collection that you’ll buy now (and dig out in 20 years, guaranteed).
