Narciso Rodriguez dressed first lady Michelle Obama, and his curvy evening numbers made a fan of Sarah Jessica Parker. Now he’s designing for everyone at Zara.
Remember when being fully dressed meant wearing clothes not made entirely of Spandex? When we changed out of our gym gear when we left the gym? For anyone longing for the days when the tyranny of athleisure hadn’t turned the streets of New York City into a sweaty mess of jog bras and Lycra bike shorts, there is a new capsule collection by Narciso Rodriguez for Zara.
For 25 years, Rodriguez has made the kind of clothes that the pandemic sadly seems to have killed off: minimal sheaths, high-waisted trousers and narrow midi-skirts, along with the spiked heel pumps that look best with them. Michelle Obama wore Rodriguez dresses on the campaign trail and in the White House, and the curve-enhancing fit of his evening numbers made loyalists of the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Julianna Margulies and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Since Covid, Rodriguez has been keeping busy with film and television projects, celebrity dressing and private clients, as well as his uber-successful fragrances. His connection to Zara goes back to his days as creative director at the Spanish leather specialist Loewe, circa 2000. “Zara was already really growing quickly, and I developed this great relationship with the [Ortega] family,” he says. “You know, my goal has always been to dress as many women as possible, and Zara does that.
Even better, he adds, was seeing the old collections through such enthusiastic eyes. “The love of fashion and the knowledge and the excitement for what they do there is really impressive. The young people at Zara know everything that’s going on in the world of fashion and they really enjoy it. I remember that well from my own youth.”
Among the archival pieces he’s revived for the capsule, there’s an embroidered slip dress from the spring/summer 1997 Rodriguez-designed Cerruti show, which took place just days after the designer became a household name for making the wedding dress Carolyn Bessette wore to marry John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996.
