Zara Pulls Racist Pepe the Frog Skirt

By James St. James on April 18, 2017 5:06 pm

So this just happened: A shredded jean skirt decorated with alt-right mascot Pepe the Frog has been pulled from the racks and is no longer available for purchase on Zara’s online store.

Zara, of course, has a history of lunkheaded fashion choices, including a gazillion ripoffs, a concentration camp-inspired children’s shirt, and a bizarre celebration of size 0 “curves,” All petty despicable. But co-opting a White Nationalist symbol for their ‘Festival Edition’ section? That’s just sick.

Via PAPER;

In case you didn’t know, Pepe the frog was a meme (a glorious meme!) of an emotional cartoon frog that met its tragic death when it was co-opted by the white nationalist alt-right movement during Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Pepe has since been declared a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League, much to the dismay of Brooklynites with penchants for ironic tattoos.

Since fashion and music writer Meagan Fredette first noticed the skirt, and Dazed picked up her tweet, Zara has pulled the Pepe skirt and has yet to comment.

Zara is really out there trying to sell a P*pe the frog skirt, apparently unaware (?) of its current implications
