After events like the Met Gala and the derby, it becomes painfully clear that I am too poor to ever buy, wear, or maintain anything high fashion. Thankfully, sneaky budget fashion brands do an excellent job of making budget-obsessed people feel like we’re actually participating in the fashion industry. H&M’s #sponsored presence on the Met Gala red carpet gives me hope, and ZARA’s Spring/Summer 2018 fashion editorial, Colour Canyon, gives me the vapors.
Each season, ZARA does an amazing job of giving life to their (usually beautiful) clothing and accessories through high-quality editorials – just like the bougie ones from top designers. The spring/summer trend guide was photographed on Hiandra Martinez in the warmly bleak deserts of California.
It’s so well-done that it almost makes you forget that everything you’re seeing is under $50.
