What are your thoughts on Balenciaga's apology. Sincere? Is the brand restored?

Sure it’s okay if you want to support a company that sexually exploited children I guess

I won’t. It’s like saying I support sexual exploitation of children. I’m sorry, but their apology was BS and there is a pattern here. The Ashcroft decision appearing in their ads as a “wink wink” combined with the horrific teddy bear ads is just too much for me. I feel gross even touching my stuff from them now.

Sorry not Ashcroft, I meant Williams. Ashcroft was AG.

Out of my price range, but I wouldn't.

They could have missed the Supreme Court child porn ruling that perhaps the stylist slipped in (also some books in the shoot that contain questionable depictions of children, a horn on Isabelle Huppert's head, or the name on a framed document of a man convicted of molesting his granddaughter between the ages of 4 and 16)), but no way those who approved printing the ad could have missed the kids wearing the bondage panda bears wiht alcohol on the table in the foreground.

Of the big celebrities involved with Balenciaga, only Kim K so far has said anything. But not definitive on her ongoing relationship. Bella Hadid has removed some picture of her in Baleciaga but has not said anything publicly.

of course it is. They were misguided "art" pictures. They didn't DO anything to children.

Buy what you want.

One thing to know about the company is that they were closely tied to the Franco fascist regime in Spain, which also has a horrific history of baby stealing as well.

I will never wear anything associated with the brand, and actually I am also done with the celebrities that aren’t saying anything here or giving weak condemnation like Kim Kardashian. There is just so much evidence here. It is impossible to ignore.

What could they possibly have had to gain from doing this? Was this some robe stylist trying to have a moment?

Oh, well, I had no idea Nicole Kidman was featured in these ads!

Yes, but wishy washy on whether she will continue her relationship with Balenciaga.

She shouldn't. She certainly doesn't need the money.

I don't know about you, but I question a company that stretches art pictures to sexualizing children and using weird satanic allusions like Baalenciaga for a public ad campaign.

Misguided doesn't seems like an inadequate word to describe it.
