Two advertisements of the fashion brand Zara have been banned for the characteristic of models that appeared “unhealthy thin”.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) stated that shadow and a sleek back bun hairstyle made a model “gant”, while in another image a shirt currency and low cut design showed the model’s “Protooding” collarbones.
The guards decided that “irresponsible” advertisements should not again appear in their current form and Zara should ensure that all its images were “prepared responsibly”.
Zara has removed the advertisements and said that both models proved medical certification that they were in good health when they were taking pictures.
Two banned advertisements appeared in a carousel of images in a carousel on the first retailer app and website, which were more closed on the model.
An advertisement was for a short dress and ASA felt that the shadow was used to make the model’s legs “remarkably thin”.
It also said that the status of her upper weapons and elbow joints made her “out of proportion”.

The other restricted advertisement was for a shirt and the model was stated in a situation that made the “collarbones” of the advertisement “focal feature”.
