Hyderabad: Global fashion brand Zara on Sunday faced backlash for its latest ad-campaign showing its newest collection, featuring model Kristen McMenamy. The ad campaign shows the model with a mannequin covered with a white cloth and several users are comparing with the dead bodies in Israel and Palestine.
The other images of the ad campaign also showed Kristen McMenamy inside a wooden box and this has sparked an outrage among social media users. Some of the social media users also stated that the ad-campaign showed the plywood boards arranged in the shape of a map similar to Palestine.

As the outrage grew, Zara deleted its post, however the company has yet not issued any formal statement. Over 17,700 people, majority of whom are women and children, have been killed by Israel in Gaza since the October 7 attack by Hamas militants in which 1200 people, comprising Israel Armed Forces personnel, were killed.
