Zara Unveils Tribute Collection of Peter Lindbergh T-shirts, Hoodies
LONDON — Zara — with help from Fabien Baron — is highlighting the work of Peter Lindbergh in a Tribute collection of T-shirts and sweatshirts showcasing some of the photographer’s most famous black-and-white images.
Baron, a longtime friend of Lindbergh’s and creative director on the project, worked with the photographer’s son Benjamin on picking the images. They feature Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, Linda Evangelista, Helena Christensen and Lynne Koester.
All proceeds from the collection will benefit the Franca Fund, named for the late Franca Sozzani, the longtime editor of Vogue Italia.
The fund supports work on preventive genomics and, specifically, the Global BabySeq Project, a pioneering genome sequencing project undertaken by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. It is focused on accelerating preventive medicine and addressing racial disparities within the field of genomics.
The Zara shirts are packaged in a custom designed, reusable box and have been produced in a limited edition. They go on sale on Thursday at zara.com, priced at $39.99.
In an interview, Baron said the idea originated with Marta Ortega, a member of the family that founded and owns Zara.
