Forever 21 has had an incredible success among fashion lovers thanks to the modern and flirty that they offer at an excellent price, undoubtedly one of the best on the market. That is why the brand is always on everyone's lips or better said in the closet of many women. The problem is that the brand from time to time is also seen in the middle of one or another lawsuit, such as the one that is involved at the moment and all because of the choice of a model to show one of the sweaters they have on their page Web.

It turns out that the store launched a sweater in honor of the movie Black Panther, which they named Wakanda Forever, a phrase that became popular in the movie created by Marvel Comics. The problem is that, to promote the piece, the company chose a white model, and that is precisely what has angered many who have taken the networks to express their discontent.

"In which universe did you think this would be okay to use a white model to promote Wakanda merchandise?" Wrote one user on Twitter. "I am very offended."

Many other users shared the sentiment of this user, asking the brand for an explanation of its choice. Of course, others came to the defense of Forever 21, claiming that they did not find the problem that a white model models a sweater in honor of Black Panther.

For its part, the brand removed the post it published on its Twitter account and also apologized.

"Forever 21 takes comments on its products and its advertising very seriously," the company said in a statement it sent to The Hollywood Reporter. "We celebrate all superheroes with different models of various ethnicities, and we apologize if the photo in question was in any way offensive."

What do you think of the situation?
