Zara the Archive Collection, the clothing giant’s latest drop, is a deliberate exploration of the building blocks every modern man should have in his wardrobe. While the name hints at a retrospective, this is not a direct dive into Zara’s own historical archives. Instead, the focus is on curating a selection of enduring pieces that transcend fleeting trends, a true archive for today’s man, rooted in versatility, function, and style. The collection draws on the idea of repetition and reinvention, offering garments that are both familiar and fresh, designed to be worn, reimagined, and lived in.
Creative Direction & Production
Creative and art direction for the collection comes from Gorka Sorozabal, whose vision shapes the understated yet impactful aesthetic. Photography is led by Álvaro Pereña, capturing the essence of each piece with clarity and intention. Styling is a collaborative effort between Juan Medina, Sandra G. Cimadevila, and Lara Moreno, whose combined expertise brings together looks that feel both timeless and contemporary.
The production is managed by Ángela B.D. at DAY INT., ensuring seamless execution from concept to realization. Videography credits go to Pino Sartorio and Arturo Brunetti, whose visuals further illuminate the collection’s mood. Supporting the shoot are Dani Gallar as first photography assistant, Vassili Boclé as second photo assistant, and Manon Clavelier as digital technician.
Grooming is handled by Werner Amort at Julian Watson Agency and Jody Taylor at Leftside Creative, adding the finishing touches that define each model’s character. Set design is led by Laura Jauregi at Cable Studio, providing a clean, adaptable backdrop that allows the clothing to take center stage.

Zara’s Archive Collection is not about nostalgia, but about building a foundation for the future.
