Inditex CEO, Pablo Isla, has visited the new stores and met the new Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho and Zara Home teams at the Dana Mall in Minsk, one of the most relevant shopping centres of the Belarusian capital.

Zara arrives to Minsk with a two-story store featuring more than 4,000 square metres of retail space bearing the latest store concept, based on four principles: beauty, clarity, functionality and sustainability. The brand offers to its Belarussian customers the latest trends for women, men and kids, as part of its Fall-Winter collection.

Pull&Bear and Bershka also opened today their new stores with more than 1,000 square metres of commercial space respectively. Pull&Bear has unveiled in Belarus its latest image, with an interior design that reminds the Californian city of Palm Springs. In turn, Bershka includes in Minsk its new store concept entitled Stage, focusing on the world of music.

Stradivarius offers Belarussian customers its new women's collection whilst, Oysho brings to Minsk its latest designs in terms of lingerie and sports clothing, with Zara Home launching the latest trends in decoration and home furnishing to this market.

Massimo Dutti is present with its latest collections for menswear, women and children, contained in a store measuring 750 square metres.

These new stores incorporate all of the elements of sustainability found in eco-efficient Inditex stores, which consume 30% less energy and half as much water compared with a conventional store. The Group's aim is to ensure that all of its stores are eco-efficient by 2020. Currently, 71% of Inditex stores already respond to this commitment with the environment
