What: Zara Man is getting in touch with its artistic side. The budget-fashion retailer is launching an exclusive collection of clothes with graphics designed by artist Keith Haring at more than 1,000 Zara stores worldwide beginning this week. The special collection will feature neutral-colored t-shirts and sweatshirts emblazoned with colorful Keith Haring images, perfect for a casual day out in the city or a fun night at the bar with friends.
What Zara Says:
“The concept adopted for this new collection is that of the T-shirt as a canvas and medium for this artist’s widely acclaimed work … It’s a highly unconventional collection that harks back to the 80s and 90s.”
What We Say: It’s cool to see such as well-known artist lending his pop-art images to a fashionable clothing retailer. Although the shirts and sweatshirts themselves aren’t exactly revolutionary—how much can you really reinvent a basic white tee or gray hoodie?—the addition of Haring’s iconic graphics emblazoned on the front will surely make these pieces worth buying. Just make sure to get yourself to a Zara store before the items are sold out, since the clothes aren’t yet available online.

I absolutely love Keith Haring! I keep seeing his little guys popping up everywhere, even on Kanye’s head at the VMA’s last month.
