TL;DR Summary

Fashion brand Zara has apologized and pulled its latest ad campaign, titled "The Jacket," after facing widespread criticism for its resemblance to the destruction in Gaza. The campaign, which featured a model surrounded by mannequins covered in white plastic shrouds, was deemed insensitive and tone-deaf by customers. Zara acknowledged the offense caused and removed the images from its website, stating that the campaign was intended to showcase craftmade garments in an artistic context. This is not the first time Zara has faced scrutiny for its stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
