In the 21st century, fashion brands determine what society will wear next. However, they also directly define the production of clothes, shoes, gadgets, and accessories. Brands are the benchmark for respectability and success. Every year, world fashion brands influence the trends and relationships between people in various social groups.

Fashion brands did not gain their authority and fame at once. Behind every popular brand, there are years of hard work and many ups and downs.

One of these brands is ZARA. Founded in 1974, ZARA is a well-known SPA brand that is a subsidiary of the global fashion group Inditex. Furthermore, it is one of the most profitable companies in the fast fashion industry.
