Zara has a pulled an ad after receiving complaints it contained images which resemble the Israel-Hamas war.
The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority said they had received 110 complaints that the images which resembles the Israel-Hamas war were offensive.
The company said that they regret the “misunderstanding” about the pictures as some customers “saw in them something far from what was intended when they were created.”
Zara said they were advertising their Atelier line, that was “conceived in July and photographed in September.”
Zara said the campaign presented “a series of images of unfinished sculptures in a sculptor’s studio and was created with the sole purpose of showcasing craft-made garments in an artistic context.”
Zara said, “Unfortunately, some customers felt offended by these images, which have now been removed, and saw in them something far from what was intended when they were created.
“Zara regrets that misunderstanding and we reaffirm our deep respect towards everyone.”
