Inditex maintains its commitment to the US: first standalone Zara Man and flagship in San Francisco
Madrid – Amidst a macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop where trade tensions instigated by the US government threaten to significantly impact the operations of multinationals like Inditex. During the Spanish company's latest annual general meeting on Tuesday, chief executive officer Óscar García Maceiras was clear and firm on the matter: 'We are maintaining our strategy in the United States'. Inditex will maintain its selective growth strategy in the US despite trade tensions. The company's management stated that its diversified business model, encompassing various formats, channels, and countries of origin and manufacturing, prepares it for market uncertainties. Inditex plans new store openings in the US in 2025, including its first standalone Zara Man store and a flagship store in San Francisco. During its 2025 annual general meeting, Inditex, which owns Zara, Bershka, and Massimo Dutti, addressed its US operations amid escalating trade tensions. The US has experienced economic instability since April 2, 2025, due to unpredictable tariff policies. These conditions present challenges for textile companies, including Inditex. The US has been Inditex's second-largest global market since 2021, after Spain. The company's chief executive officer highlighted the competitive advantage of its diversified business model during the 2024 financial results presentation in March. This advantage was reiterated at the 2025 annual general meeting. During the question-and-answer session, the chief executive officer stated that the company's business model promotes diversification across commercial formats, physical and online channels, operations in 97 countries with physical stores and 214 via online platforms, and manufacturing in nearly 50 different origins. This diversification is considered a factor in the company's preparedness for market uncertainties. Inditex will continue its strategy of selective growth in the US, approaching expansion "project by project". The company has operated in the US since 1989, opening its first Zara store in New York that year. New store openings and flagship locations Inditex has ongoing commercial projects in the US, scheduled for completion within the 2025 financial year. These include the relocation of the Zara store in Hudson Yards, New York; a second Zara store in Boston at Cambridge Side; and a new Zara flagship store in Los Angeles at The Grove. Additional planned openings for 2025 include a new Zara store at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas; the first standalone Zara Man store in Costa Mesa, California, opening after the summer; Inditex's first store in North Carolina, in Charlotte, expanding its US operations to 26 states; and a new Zara flagship store in Union Square, San Francisco. The San Francisco flagship aims to reinforce the group's presence in California. The company plans to continue identifying new projects and potentially entering new US states and regions, aligning with its growth strategy. This approach reinforces Inditex's commitment to the US market. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Katrina Kaif's Birthday: Her 5 Most Iconic Fashion Moments
Katrina Kaif's journey through Bollywood has not only gifted audiences with stellar performances but also a legacy of standout fashion moments that have influenced trends and inspired countless wardrobes. As the star celebrates her birthday, we celebrate her style evolution—graceful, bold, and eternally chic—through five unforgettable on-screen outfits that defined her fashion legacy. 1. Ethereal Elegance in Maroon – Fitoor In Fitoor, Katrina's deep maroon gown stole hearts with its poetic grace. Paired with her crimson hair, the romantic silhouette blended high fashion with a Victorian air of melancholy, perfectly reflecting her character's emotional depth. The minimalist accessorizing allowed the rich hue and flowing texture to take center stage. This look remains one of her most visually arresting on-screen transformations and continues to inspire moody winter formalwear. Style cue: Look for wine-toned gowns in chiffon or georgette for weddings and evening galas. Designers like Gauri & Nainika and Ridhi Mehra offer modern takes on romantic drama. 2. Power Meets Play – Tees Maar Khan's White Shirt & Black Shorts Combo Channelling a blend of sass and sleekness, Katrina strutted into fashion legend in a white shirt tucked into black shorts, topped with a tilted black hat for the song 'Sheila Ki Jawani.' The look, though simple, radiated bold sensuality—reminding fashionistas everywhere that basics, when styled right, can be powerfully glamorous. Style cue: Cinched waists, oversized shirts, and tailored shorts are hot this season—look to Zara or Mango for affordable, high-impact pieces. 3. Saree Simplicity – The Pink Drape in Bharat A lesson in understated elegance, Katrina's soft pink saree in Bharat became a go-to visual for modern minimalism. Its pastel shade, paired with loose waves and muted makeup, reflected her character's quiet strength. This look resonated across generations for its timelessness and approachability. Style cue: For everyday elegance or festive poise, brands like Navyasa by Liva offer breezy sarees with just the right balance of comfort and finesse. 4. Bold and Iconic – Wayfarers in Kala Chashma The Kala Chashma look was about unapologetic attitude. With bold black wayfarers, Katrina turned dance floor glam into a fashion statement. It wasn't just about the sunglasses—it was about the confidence that came with them. The look went viral instantly, creating a ripple effect across partywear trends and accessories. Style cue: Amp up your look with bold sunglasses from GKB Opticals, Ray-Ban, or John Jacobs—ideal for festivals, beach vacations, or everyday swagger. 5. Edgy in Denim – The Kamli Romper Look In Dhoom 3's 'Kamli', Katrina served athleticism and allure in equal parts with her structured denim romper. Paired with intense choreography, tousled hair, and a bold attitude, this look gave streetwear a sultry twist. It was a definitive moment where dance, fashion, and power collided on-screen. Style cue: Explore denim playsuits from Only, Levi's, or even indie designers for festival-ready outfits that scream fearless cool.

'Completely forgot about this': Mike Tindall sparks fresh controversy over cheeky swipe at wife Zara and Princess Eugene's Jubilee outfits
Mike Tindall has reflected on a cheeky throwback post poking fun at his wife Zara Tindall and her cousin Princess Eugenie's bold outfit choices. The 46-year-old former England rugby star took to Instagram on Monday to reshare a snap from the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022- specifically, the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral. Zara, 44, stood out in a vibrant pink Laura Green London dress with a Juliette Millinery hat, while Eugenie, 35, turned heads in a bold orange Emilia Wickstead number. Tindall, never one to miss a moment of fun, created a collage of the royal cousins and cheekily added images of pink and orange Starburst lollies, drawing a playful comparison to their outfits. He captioned the original post: "When you combine your favourite Starbursts!! 2 world-class ladies!! #starburst #platinumjubilee." At the time, fans were quick to embrace the joke. "The cutest Starbursts ever!!!" one follower wrote, while another chimed in, "Haha, they really do look like Starbursts." Others praised the women's style and humour, with one fan commenting: "Zara was the BEST DRESSED ROYAL." While Eugenie didn't interact publicly with the post, Tindall recently brought it back to light via his Instagram stories, admitting he had "completely forgot about this photo!!!" Despite the jab, the Tindalls share a close bond with Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank. The families are often seen together at royal events, including this year's Royal Ascot and May's Buckingham Palace Garden Party. Neither Zara nor Eugenie are full-time working royals. Zara continues to thrive as a professional equestrian, famously winning silver at the 2012 Olympics, while Eugenie has spent more than a decade as an associate director at prestigious art gallery Hauser & Wirth. Both women juggle their careers with motherhood: Zara shares three children, Mia, 11, Lena, seven, and Lucas, four, with with Mike, while Eugenie and Jack have two sons, August, four, and Ernest, two. Though they typically steer clear of commenting on royal tensions, Zara recently made a rare statement about her cousin Prince Harry's strained relationship with the family. "It is very hard to see from the outside, but 100 per cent, it is a family that is still going through the same struggles other people do," she said in May, as reported by The Sun. "Whether they are relationships, obviously, it is very easy to see every day. We're still very supportive of each other." Zara and Mike have remained loyal to the monarchy, and reports suggest they've distanced themselves from Harry and his American wife, Meghan Markle, following their public fallout with King Charles III. Elsewhere, Tindall praised her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II as an "inspiration to all". "We had a very incredible person to look up to who is sadly not here anymore," she said. "She was amazing and an inspiration to all of us."
