Balenciaga's disturbing doll campaign (photo: screenshot, screen)
Last week, the fashion house "Balenciaga" published a campaign in honor of the holidays, one that focused on accessories and items for the home that are purchased as gifts.
But the campaign, which at first seemed spotty, quickly caused a great stir on the network.
In the campaign photos, girls are shown hugging the brand's bags, which are a kind of teddy bears, but not the ones you usually see children hugging in one way or another, but rather teddy bears with all kinds of accessories from the sado-mazo world attached to their bodies.

Very quickly, and of course, the campaign caused a serious stir that led to many waves and tweets.
The company quickly posted an apology on its Instagram account and announced that the campaign had been removed.
"We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign has caused," the statement said.
"Our teddy bear bags were not supposed to be shown with children in this campaign, we strongly condemn the abuse of children in any form and stand for the safety and well-being of the children. We immediately removed the campaign from all platforms."

Last Friday, Balenciaga even filed a $25 million lawsuit against the production companies that were responsible for the advertising campaign that pornographically featured children holding teddy bears wearing BDSM equipment, to "seek compensation for extensive damages caused to the defendants in connection with an advertising campaign hired by Balenciaga."

Now, the rapper and fashion mogul
Kanye West
, with whom Balenciaga cut ties not long ago due to his anti-Semitic statements, is quick to express his opinion on the fashion house's problematic campaign.
West, who spoke with several fathers who recorded him last night outside the church, referring to the recent Balenciaga scandal: West says the Balenciaga scandal is proof that Hollywood celebrities suffer from gagging and choose to remain silent.

Referring to Balenciaga's inappropriate ad campaign, which featured little girls holding BDSM teddy bears, and comparing it to his own anti-Semitic posts, West said that people, privately, were very outraged by what happened to him, and in practice it was more than the outrage they showed in public, and in his opinion this was also evident in the lack of celebrities condemning Balenciaga .

As we all remember, back in October, Balenciaga released a statement to announce their separation from the rapper due to his repeated and controversial anti-Semitic attacks.
The statement read, "Balenciaga no longer has a relationship or plans for future projects related to this artist."
