Boycott calls by pro-Palestine activists has forced fast fashion retailer Zara to pull out an advertising campaign featuring mannequins with missing limbs and statues wrapped in white, from the front page of its website and app.
Inspired by men’s tailoring from past centuries, the collection was launched by Zara on December 7. Its campaign photos depict a studio with ladders, packing materials, wooden crates and cranes, and assistants wearing overalls.
First featured on Zara's online store home page, the photos have been removed from both the brand’s website and also its app.
The move highlights consumers’ heightened sensitivity to international issues like the Israel-Gaza war.
Comprising six jackets, the collection is one of Zara's most expensive, priced from $229 for a grey wool blazer with chunky knit sleeves, to $799 for a studded leather jacket.
