Zara is facing a backlash after using statues with missing limbs surrounded by rubble in an advertising campaign. Images published by the Spanish retailer have been compared to the destruction in Gaza. In the photographs, model Kristen McMenamy also poses with mannequins wrapped in white cloth and plastic. Commenting on Zara’s post about the campaign, Melanie Elturk, chief executive of fashion brand Haute Hijab, said: “This is sick. What kind of sick, twisted, and sadistic images am I looking at?”
