Why are there so many special flowers today? We're approaching winter, they're supposed to be dormant

I'm not uncontrol, but:

Quality is generally pretty bad on real clothes, but accessories are acceptable
Easy to buy from and the shipping+handling time is acceptable
No idea what you mean about the one-size

http://zara.com/#/en_GB/catalogue/kids/?id=1 for more examples of adult-styled and sexualized children.


Oh please, aside from that one photo you quoted none of it is 'sexualized' enough that you needn't use your of imagination, at best it's attitude which kids have plenty of on their own. I thought the pictures were cute and showed off the always top notch styling of H&M, despite their clothing not being my style I have to give them styling props. I'm glad they did this shoot too because now I have somewhere to look back at when someone asks if I've seen any great kidswear lately.

No, it isn't "explicit" but how far do they have to go before you realize that these kids are being portrayed as sexual adults?

also, one photo depicting a child in an obviously sexual light is one too many

All I see is, "Omg, I seduced you."

Not to mention that it looks like those photos were taken up in the attic.

Uh, pretty much everything at Zara is a knockoff. That's their business model.
