H&M, American Apparel take heat for edgy moves
While H&M pulled a shirt from its stores that featured a skull over a Star of David, a model’s photo for American Apparel showed more skin than many observers thought was appropriate.
I doubt that there were anti-Semitic intentions on the part of the designer, but there is no escaping that the juxtaposition – no matter how accidental – of these two symbols is entirely inappropriate and offensive. The more I look at it, the more I am at a loss to explain how H&M commissioned or even approved this item.
He tweeted a photo of the shirt:
