40 Awkward Zara Model Poses And Products Made Even Funnier By These Captions

I’m a pretty simple clothing shopper. I want to know what a shirt costs, whether it comes in my size, and if I can put it in the dryer.

Zara does things differently.

Shopping gets complicated when the model is folded into a position I couldn’t achieve with six months of physical therapy. I appreciate the artistic vision, but I’m trying to figure out where the sleeves are. One picture of someone standing normally would really help move this along.

The Instagram account Awkward Zara pairs these strange model poses and product photos with captions that give them a little context. Whatever the original creative direction was, “person barely holding it together during an ordinary day” turns out to be a pretty convincing alternative.
