The new campaign has a beautiful section on the Zara website. Inquiring minds, accustomed to Zara’s high style imagery, wonder how the brand will move forward with creative photography in the age of COVID-19.
Zara is exploring one obvious answer. Let current Zara models, influencers and women of substance take the images themselves or be photographed by friends and family in their own environments and following COVID-19 safety rules.
The current Zara Instagram page is a mix of campaign images and these new models at home or personal location shots (some by known photographers) coupled with Zara messaging: “Respecting social distancing” and “But staying closer than ever”.
