Balenciaga’s brand ambassador Kim Kardashian disgusted
Balenciaga brand ambassador Kim Kardashian told fans she was disgusted and outraged by the Balenciaga holiday ad campaign that accused it of Sexualizing minors.
Kim Kardashian shared her thoughts on Twitter on Sunday saying she held off on making a statement to understand how the campaign happened in the first place. Kim Kardashian further added that as a mother of four, she has been shaken by the disturbing images of the Balenciaga holiday campaign.
The Holiday Campaign of Balenciaga
She said that the safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalise child abuse of any kind should have no place in society.
The Balenciaga holiday ad campaigns featured children holding teddy bear bags dressed in what seemed like bondage gear.
The campaign had since been taken down from all the brand’s accounts.
She said that she has been quiet for the past few days not because she hasn’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns but because she wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand how this kind of thing happened.
Balenciaga apologized about their Holiday Campaign
She explained that she appreciated Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology.
She said that she believes that the brand understands the seriousness of the issue and ensures it will never happen again.
Kim Kardashian added that for her future with Balenciaga, she will currently re-evaluate her relationship with the brand, based on their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with and the actions she was expecting to see them take to protect children.
On Tuesday, the luxury fashion house took down the ad campaigns after receiving negative opinions on social media, which especially included those of the children with their teddy bear bags.
