Zara Larsson Spends Met Week Diving into Our Archives
Met Gala week in New York City is famously the highest-stakes fashion playground in the world. While the red carpets are reserved for custom gowns and couture, the real style magic happens in the quiet corners of the city's best archives. This season, the showroom felt an extra jolt of pop-star energy when Zara Larsson stopped by to dive deep into our collection. Known for her effortless ability to blend Y2K nostalgia with a modern, high-fashion edge, Zara arrived with a clear vision and left with some of the most sought-after pieces in our inventory. If you're looking to curate your own archival moment, you can now book a private showroom appointment to explore our latest arrivals in person.
The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the Roberto Cavalli 2000s Just Cavalli Gold Trim and Animal Printed Top. There is something undeniably electric about a piece that captures the peak of the animal-print craze, and Zara knew exactly how to bring it into 2026. Shortly after her visit, she was photographed out on the town in the gold-trimmed piece, pairing it with dark denim and a confident, effortless attitude that only a true vintage lover can pull off. It wasn’t just a "look"—it was a moment that proved archival fashion is the ultimate way to navigate the noise of Met week. You can see the full street-style breakdown and more behind-the-scenes content on our Instagram.
Beyond the Cavalli, Zara’s curation was a masterclass in textures and eras. She gravitated toward a rare Christian Dior by John Galliano SS 2005 Runway Graphic Top, a piece that serves as a vibrant reminder of the playfulness and "more is more" philosophy of the Galliano years. To balance the graphic boldness, she also selected a Loris Azzaro 1970s Pink and Silver Lurex Crochet Chain Top. The contrast between the 2000s streetwear aesthetic and the shimmering, disco-ready allure of the 70s Lurex showed off Zara’s versatile approach to personal style. You can shop our full designer collection to find similar one-of-a-kind runway grails.
No archive haul is complete without the right accessories, and Zara’s eye for Chanel was impeccable. She selected a pair of early 2000s pink and yellow CC round sunglasses that felt like they were pulled straight from a vintage music video, alongside a 2005-2006 white canvas Camellia print flap bag. These pieces, paired with a classic Missoni 2000s Multicolor Floral and Stipe Printed Asymmetrical One-shoulder Mini Dress, rounded out a collection that felt both curated and deeply personal. Seeing an artist like Zara interact with these garments reminds us that vintage isn't just about wearing old clothes; it’s about reclaiming a narrative and giving these storied pieces a second life on the world stage.
