Ton Heukels (dutch Model)

You mean the Zara shots? They're live on Zara right now, in season. So this is as current as it gets, as far as I know.
Doesn’t mean anything - they have the rights to photos for a number of years & will often photoshop new designs onto existing photos from previous seasons. On some online sites they are still using photos from models taken 10 years ago where the models are now almost in their 40’s. One retailer got into trouble as some underwear shots they were using were 15 years old & they just kept re-editing them every year to put new designs on but they had only licensed the photos for 5 years usage & the model complained so they had to pay him for the extra 10 years of use. The model had the photos taken when he was 25 & they were still using them when he hit 40 !

That's really skeezy!

At our Amazon ecomm site we usually negotiated only 6 months to a year max of licensing usage for ecomm. Beyond that the merch featured in the pics becomes misleading, and the styling may be too off season, and the extended licensing costs were unnecessary. I have no reason to doubt Zara's pics' recency since that huge a behemoth would be policed for licensing infractions by the model's agency, etc., esp with someone as established as Ton.

But if you doubt it, that's okay. I don't work for Zara and did write, "as far as I know" on my reply to that post.
