The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Zara was founded in Spain in 1975. Amancio Ortega built the first store in Coruña. They make clothes. Women's dresses, men's shirts, children's wear. The brand moved fast. From sketch to store in two weeks. That speed changed fashion. Vertical integration. Design, production, distribution under one roof. Today Zara operates in ninety countries. The company owns thousands of stores worldwide. Fast fashion became their territory. They rank twenty-eighth in Fashion and Footwear across sixty-six hundred tracked brands. The model was simple. Watch what people wanted. Make it. Sell it. Move on. No waste. No inventory sitting. Zara proved that fashion could be efficient and still matter.
