Zara Clothing
Last year, Zara came under fire for its T-shirt that read "White Is the New Black." Although the shirt is no longer available on the company's website, Zara kept selling a shirt that said: "Leopard Is the New Black," with the word "leopard" written in leopard print. A few weeks later, it released a striped blue-and-white children's pajama top with a yellow star over the left chest. Consumers took to social media, criticizing the retailer for the item's resemblance to uniforms worn by prisoners at concentration camps during the Holocaust. Zara issued an apology over social media, saying, "We honestly apologize. It was inspired by the sheriff's stars from the classic Western films and is no longer in our stores."
Sexy Halloween Costumes
Ronald McDonald? Check. Oscar the Grouch? Check. Olaf the Snowman? The list goes on. Sexy costume maker Yandy made headlines last year when its racy take on the "Frozen" character sold out.
Costume makers have come under increased scrutiny over the years for turning nearly every object and character imaginable into an opportunity for women to dress suggestively at Halloween. Yandy previously declined to comment on its Olaf costume. A wide swath of retailers -- including Party City and Kmartv- drew fire for a racy cop costume shown here last year, designed for toddlers or children.
