BERLIN, June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Zalando, Europe's leading online fashion and lifestyle platform, celebrated its arrival in Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia by taking fashion to the streets with spectacular displays set alongside famous landmarks.

The inspirational event presented a diverse and inclusive display of local talent, including Slovenian ex professional tennis player Nina Kolar, professional Lithuanian dancer Raidas Petrauskas and famous Slovakian director and film producer Peter Altof, all of whom capture the essence of local fashion culture. The reveal formed a visually striking representation of Zalando's intention to bring the world's most-loved fashion to its new markets

Showcasing everything from iconic designers to streetwear drops, kidswear to more sustainable dressing, Zalando is touching down in new European markets to shine a light on local fashion culture. Home to the most comprehensive fashion assortment in each market including the likes of Weekday and Vivienne Westwood, Diane von Furstenburg and Victoria Beckham, Zalando aims to become Europe's Starting Point for Fashion, harnessing the individuality of local fashion lovers.
Natalie Wills, VP Marketing, says: "Zalando is beginning its fashion stories in these new European markets as part of a long-term expansion that will see us arrive in more markets before the end of 2021. By creating fashion-inspired moments brought to life through the joy of self-expression, we're celebrating individuality and allowing everyone to express themselves in whichever way they wish. That's why we wanted to produce a diverse and inclusive showing in each market, putting local culture at the heart of our message. We welcome our new customers to say hi to their new favourite wardrobe!".
The launch campaign celebrates the start of Zalando's ambitious expansion into new European countries, which sees the fashion platform launch in Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia in early summer, Croatia, Latvia and Estonia in late summer 2021, and Hungary and Romania in 2022.
