That's according to Mehdi Sousanne, at least. And he should know. He's a designer for Zara who helps create the clothes for a brand that's one of the most successful stories in High Street fashion.Zara is owned by Inditex, the world's biggest fashion retailer, which runs a string of store chains including Massimo Dutti and Pull & Bear.

It relies on 1,800 suppliers across the world, but nearly all the clothes are brought to Spain where the company is based, to be despatched to stores in 97 countries.Zara doesn't advertise and rarely gives interviews. But as it marks 50 years since the opening of its first store, I've come to its vast campus in Galicia to meet the boss and workers for a rare glimpse into how the secretive brand operates.It's a time when the company finds itself having to navigate fast-changing markets, with growing competition from ultra-cheap online players Shein and Temu, who ship their goods direct from China, as well as uncertainty surrounding US tariffs.

But Oscar Garcia Maceiras, Inditex's CEO, says US President Donald Trump's tariffs won't disrupt its supply chains or change Zara's plans to expand further in the US, now its second biggest market."Bear in mind that for us, diversification is key. We are producing in almost 50 different markets with non-exclusive suppliers so we are more than used to adapt ourselves to change," he tells me.

The business has certainly adapted and grown since its first store opened a short drive away in the town of A Coruna.

It now has 350 designers, with the staff coming from some 40 different countries.The star told the court he also believed Combs was involved in a break-in at his home; later, Combs' lawyer emphasised that there was no evidence of Combs' involvement with either.

Mr Mescudi was among several witnesses who testified Thursday as the third week of the trial ended before the long Memorial Day weekend.Combs is facing possible life in prison if convicted on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied the charges and pleaded not guilty.

The rapper separately denied accusations in a barrage of civil lawsuits that echo some of the claims made in his criminal case.Mr Mescudi told the court he and Ms Ventura dated for a few months in 2011 after Combs asked him to record music with her. Mr Mescudi testified about a series of incidents involving Combs.
