So Zara got into cycling

[Veloo]

Ad popped up. When I looked it up, saw that it was released late last year.

Rapha killer? Prob not.

TIL Zara even exists.
Looks like moderately expensive fast fashion.

Hard to miss Zara. A fast fashion leader. Founder worth around $80b.

I'd never heard of them 'til now. Looks like an uneducated attempt to try for a piece of the cycling pie. That model on the website doesn't seem to be very happy with the clothing, and he's being paid to wear it. I shudder to imagine how grumpy I'd be wearing the stuff, having actually paid for it.

I am in! One store to buy a shell necklace and some bibs! Its bro-tastic. Or is it brah-tastic... They had me with the pouty faced models.

Is it hard to miss Zara though?
My teen kinds don't buy from there, my wife doesn't buy from there, and since I hadn't heard of it I also don't but from there.

I think the closest store is over 3 hours away in MPLS. Then the next closest is over 4 hours away in the Chicago burbs.

It's fast fashion- market leaders in fast fashion are sort of oxymoron.

Wow! Never thought I’d see the day. Interesting category the fast fashion retailer.

Zara is a Spanish company, so there is that.

In the store here the lines at the register are over 20 customers deep.

I wouldn't put any weight into the models facial expressions. They all look like that, all the time. I guess it makes it easier to sell fashion when you're smug about it.

Only reason I know about Zara is that the owner funded an exchange program for Spanish high schoolers and we hosted 3 of them.

I know, I was just being smug right back. I don’t understand why models so often have that I Hate You And The Clothes I’m Wearing And Also Other Stuff Man Being Alive Is A Real Drag expression. Gimme a friendly happy cheerful model anyday! Same with cycling product ads showing Serious Cyclists.

Watch the beginning of triangle if sadness, it explains all.

so I asked my kids (23 and 15) if they knew of Zara and they said it's basically a little bit cheaper LuLuLemon.. that's all I need to hear to know I don't need to know any more..
