Zara signs new collaboration inspired by Marisa Berenson’s world

Inditex’s flagship brand has unveild a glamorous capsule collection in collaboration with Marisa Berenson. Zara has teamed up with the New York-born model and actress, who is the granddaughter of iconic Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, to create a fashion and homeware collection that will be available from June 5, both online and in selected stores of the Galician chain.

Named “The House of Marisa”, the collection has been crafted in keeping with Berenson’s sophisticated, eccentric and cinematic style, drawing heavily on 1970s glamour and a Mediterranean aesthetic. In this way, the capsule reflects the spirit of the actress, known for her roles in films such as “Death in Venice”, “Cabaret” and “Barry Lyndon”, and also recognised in Spain for her brief appearance in the series “Velvet Colección”.

The launch comprises a total of 45 pieces spanning beachwear, dresses, jackets, trousers and accessories, with designs inspired by summers in Capri and Saint-Tropez and by the milieu of cultural high society in the 1970s and 1980s. It also features gold and silver lamé pieces, fluid dresses adorned with sequins, shimmering details, embroidery and feathers, as well as swimsuits, scarves and jewellery with serpent motifs. A collection that, in Berenson’s words, evokes “my universe, my history, my life”, and which she describes as “formal, yet beautiful and whimsical”.

For its part, the home line has been conceived with a strong focus on surrealism, exoticism and theatricality, and bears a pronounced aesthetic influence from Elsa Schiaparelli. Specifically, it includes pieces such as a gilded folding screen decorated with butterflies, bookcases and tables in coral hues, a mirror adorned with gilded sunflowers, sequin-embellished cushions, napkins embroidered with the signs of the zodiac, and tableware accompanied by eclectically inspired cutlery.

This unexpected partnership adds to the long list of collaborations pursued by Zara with international figures across different creative fields. Among the most recent are the capsule created with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, the collection designed with US designer of Mexican descent Willy Chavarria, and the two-year creative agreement reached with John Galliano, with the first launches scheduled for September.

Founded in 1975, the Galician brand closed its last financial year with a retail network of around 1,500 points of sale across owned stores and franchises. In the 2025 financial year, Zara, which reports its results jointly with the Zara Home and Lefties chains, recorded growth of close to 1%, with a turnover of 28,051 million euros.

The chain is part of the Inditex group, chaired by Marta Ortega, which also includes Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Oysho and Lefties. Over the same period, the conglomerate achieved a turnover of 39,864 million euros, 3.2% more than the previous year.
