The Zara x Ader Error collab introduces the AZ collection with pieces that can be purchased around the world via selected shops, as well as in the virtual world through the social media platform Zepeto. The AZ collection is said to be a project that "reflects on the ability of language to express ideas, give rise to other ways of thinking, and create new cultures," and it unites personal experiences online and offline.
Generation AZ is named in a way that references both collaborators and the genderless collection includes oversized puffer coats, cotton logo shirts, jeans and shoes. Through Zepeto, Zara will be venturing into the Metaverse for the very first time and users will be able to find clothing and makeup styles from the Ader Error x Zara store.
