Inditex updates management of Zara Kids
Marcheselli, who also led the Inditex subsidiary for the United Kingdom and Ireland and held the commercial direction of Zara in Europe, replaces Begoña Costas at Zara Kids, who is retiring after more than four decades in the company, as confirmed by the Galician giant.
Meanwhile, Bárbara Bastianelli will head Inditex's Italian subsidiary, after having served as Zara's commercial director for Europe and Asia. She will take over from Marcheselli.
The star brand of the Inditex group, immersed in the celebrations of its 50th anniversary (it has just inaugurated an installation conceived together with the artist Es Devlin in A Coruña), has had a children's fashion division since its beginnings. But it was not until 2022 when Zara absorbed Kiddy's Class, its children's chain, thus simplifying its corporate structure.
Including all its lines (also Zara Home), the flagship of the conglomerate recorded a turnover of 27,778 million euros in fiscal 2024, an increase of 6.6% compared to fiscal 2023. The Inditex group as a whole, in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, posted sales of 8,274 million euros, 1.5% more than a year earlier.

Italian regulator hits Shein with 1 million euro greenwashing fine
Italy's competition authority (AGCM) imposed a 1 million euro (1.16 million dollar) fine on China-founded fast fashion online retailer Shein on Monday for misleading customers on the environmental impact of its products. This is Shein's second financial sanction by a European competition authority in little more than a month, after France fined the company 40 million euros on July 3 over fake discounts and misleading environmental claims. The Italian fine was imposed on Infinite Styles Services Co. Limited, a Dublin-based company that operates Shein's website in Europe, following a "greenwashing" investigation by AGCM launched last September. Shein did not immediately respond to a request for comment. AGCM said the environmental sustainability and social responsibility messages on Shein's website "were sometimes vague, generic, and/or overly emphatic, and in other cases omitted and misleading." Shein's claims on circular system design and product recyclability "were found to be false or at the very least confusing", and the green credentials of its 'evoluSHEIN by design' collection were overstated, the regulator said. Shein promotes the 'evoluSHEIN by design' collection as clothes made using more sustainable and responsible manufacturing. AGCM said consumers could be misled to think that the collection was made with eco-friendly materials and fully recyclable, "a fact that, considering the fibres used and currently existing recycling systems, is untrue". The authority also took issue with Shein's "vague and generic" commitments to cut greenhouse emissions by 25% by 2030 and to net zero by 2050, noting they contradicted its increase in emissions in 2023 and 2024. The Italian regulator said its overall assessment was influenced by an "increased duty of care" falling on Shein, "because it operates in a highly polluting sector and with highly polluting methods" such as fast and super-fast fashion. AGCM is in charge of consumer protection as well as competition. When AGCM's investigation was launched last year, Shein said it was "ready to cooperate openly with relevant Italian authorities, providing the necessary support and information to address any inquiries". Founded in China, Shein is known for its cheap tops and dresses. Its treatment of workers and environmental record came under increased scrutiny last year after reports that it was planning to list its shares in London.
