Artizana × Zdob și Zdub: A Collaboration That Made the InStyle Cover

13.08.2026

The shoot took place outdoors on a cold day: a grey sky, wind, and the plane's open door set the mood for the whole frame. That very contrast — the airfield's adventurous atmosphere against warm, texture-rich outfits — became the core idea behind the styling. Each band member got his own wardrobe story: a cognac leather jacket with a shearling collar, a checked blazer with a quilted vest, a composed grey trench coat, a quilted jacket worn with a shirt and tie.

The result is a cover that captures each band member's personality while staying cohesive through a shared choice of materials and color. The guitar cases and white sneakers in frame added life to the shoot and made it clear these were musicians in front of the camera, not models.

The collaboration shows how local fashion and Moldovan music can tell one memorable visual story together — and that good styling works best when it doesn't fight the personality of the people wearing it.

Artizana styled the Zdob și Zdub photoshoot featured on the InStyle cover, Fashion Issue, Autumn 2022. The collaboration brought together the band's energy and pieces from the Artizana collection, set against an unconventional backdrop — an airfield, with a small plane in frame.
