Racist trolls tried to attack this Old Navy advert and failed spectacularly

Clothing brand Old Navy tweeted about a 30 per cent sale at the weekend and it got a lot of attention, at first for all the wrong reasons.

Restored

Old Navy spokesperson Debbie Felix stood by the campaign, and told Fortune:

We are a brand with a proud history of championing diversity and inclusion.

At Old Navy, everyone is welcome.
