British couturier John Galliano, known for his work with Dior and Maison Margiela, has unexpectedly become the face of a new project by the mass-market giant Zara. The designer has signed a two-year contract with the brand to create capsule collections, the first of which is set to go on sale this September.

As part of this unusual collaboration, Galliano will work with the Spanish retailer’s vintage archives. He himself has described the process as a «reinterpretation.» The designer is expected to deconstruct and reconstruct pieces from past seasons, using them as the foundation for new designs and contemporary interpretations.

For Galliano, whose career was affected by a high-profile antisemitism scandal, this project represents an opportunity to explore a new creative role. The couturier has admitted that he is inspired by the novelty and unconventional nature of the task.

A court in the United Kingdom ruled in favor of blogger Crystal Joyce, who was disturbed in the fitting room of the world-renowned clothing and accessories brand. This was reported by The Mirror.

The incident took place in a Zara store. The young woman was half-dressed and recording a video for TikTok when a Zara employee opened the fitting room curtain without permission. Moreover, the employee began shouting at Crystal in front of other customers, accusing her of theft.

Feeling humiliated, the young woman filed a lawsuit against ITX Retail Limited, the company that owns Zara, stating that she was unfairly portrayed as a lawbreaker. As moral compensation, she was awarded €20,000.

That’s what it means to stand up for personal boundaries.
