Zara regrets ‘misunderstanding’ over photoshoot after Gaza boycott calls

LONDON (Reuters) -Fashion brand Zara said on Tuesday it regretted the "misunderstanding" over an advertising campaign featuring mannequins with missing limbs and statues wrapped in white that triggered calls for a boycott by some pro-Palestinian activists. That account had seen tens of thousands of comments posted about the photos, many with Palestinian flags, while "#BoycottZara" was trending on messaging platform X. Critics said the images resembled photos of corpses in white shrouds in Gaza. "Zara regrets that misunderstanding and we reaffirm our deep respect towards everyone," Zara said.
