People Are Criticizing Zara For Using Thin Models In A "Love Your Curves" Ad

"This is the visual equivalent of saying 'All Curves Matter.'"

People are criticizing Zara for their recent "Love Your Curves" ad, which features two thin models.

The in-store ad went viral on Tuesday after Irish radio personality Muireann O'Connell shared it on Twitter.

It has also been spotted in stores in England and Spain, since as early as the beginning of February.

People thought it was pretty baffling.
