The Zara A/W Lookbook

Hey it looks like everyone else's lookbook, but 4 to 6 weeks later.

The first and the third picture are straigt from Dior Homme's runway collection from FW 2009; not a bad thing I guess, but they are exactly the same. Score 1 for fast fashion.

never had any experience Zara, do most of their stuff go on sale after a while?
How does the quality compare to h&m?

quality and materials are better than H&M. The prices are 2x-3x the price example: the Dior knockoff full length above is 249.99USD. Sale time hits around the same as most boutiques, so around dec/jan for fall & winter. Pricey men pieces are easy to find during the first two markdowns in my opinion. Footwear and bags; not so much.

Maybe I've just had bad luck but I've never found the quality of Zara to be noticeably better than H&M.

Maybe it's just me but I find their clothes photograph well but I'm usually unimpressed when I actually see them in the store.

Zara is a little better with certain pieces, but they carry a higher price tag than h&m . I recently bought a plaid shirt from H&m for $40 less than what Zara was selling the almost identical shirt for.

I'm not sure it's physically possible to be worse quality than H&M. You look at that shit sideways it disintegrates.

i have some h&m pieces that are now shit and some h&m pieces that are still great

mileage varies

Every Zara Ive been here has been full of cheep shit, a lot like the stuff at h&m. I visited a Parisian Zara, all the stuff in there was much higher quality, some of the sweaters were almost comparable to Dior homme sweaters (fit wise). The french take all the good zara, and send all the shit to N.america...

Fit has never been the issue with fast fashion.

In paris it is...

Visited a Zara-store today, and noticed that even the sneakers look like DH. They had that weird looking stripe.

Zara copies all their sneakers. I've seen Lanvin, Paul Smirh and Marc Jacob inspired sneakers all the time.
