Apparel brand tries to go desi, gets brutally trolled
Chandigarh, June 15
Of late, apparel brands have started printing quirky quotes and messages on their stuff to captivate millennials. In the streak, acclaimed brand Zara tried to emulate the practice but severely failed.
A shirt by Zara has been making the rounds on the Internet for its most unusual and vague text printed on it. In an attempt to attract desi buyers, the brand wrote, “Dilli Ki Dhoop Dilli,” “Chawal,” which literally translates to “Delhi’s Sun Delhi,” and “Rice.”
Wtf is this @ZARA
Translation:
Left side: Delhi’s Sun Delhi 🌞
Right side: Rice pic.twitter.com/kqmG8RCTe5Sheel Mohnot (@pitdesi) June 14, 2023
The text hardly made sense and left people scratching their head.
Netizens have been severely bashing the brand and flooded a meme fest over inexplicable message printed on the shirt.
Should’ve said नालायक on the right side

Am I the target market? 🤔
My last name is on the shirt and my family is from Delhi!

AI at work!
Zara outsourced its designing to stable diffusion, apparently!
What’s next? “Bombay’s Water Bombay” – “Vada Paav”!!

Someone is screaming “but art” to excuse their over-reliance on generative AI without critical thinking
