ZARA Tribute

Though Peter Lindbergh’s photographs helped to define an era, their sense of timelessness makes them rather hard to date. In 2015, Calvin Klein used one of Lindbergh’s images featuring Mark Vanderloo and Christy Turlington for its Eternity campaign. At the time, the image was over 25 years old, yet no one clocked it. Some of the late photographer’s works, curated by his friend, the creative director Fabien Baron, have been selected to grace a collection of T-shirts and pullovers for Zara. And, like the Eternity ad, the merchandise—created to benefit the Franca Sozzani Fund for Preventive Genomics—evokes a cool factor that belies the archival significance of the works they present.

The five-piece collection revisits Lindbergh’s black-and-white images. There’s Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, Linda Evangelista, Debbie Lee Carrington alongside Helena Christensen and Lynne Koester.

All of the proceeds from the pieces, comprising Zara’s first-ever tribute collection, will benefit the Franca Sozzani Fund. It’s a touching collaboration, as the late Italian Vogue editor in chief championed Lindbergh and his work in the pages of her magazine for decades.
