Balenciaga's avant-garde designs, like the clear tape bracelet, spark online buzz and criticism. Watch the video to know more.

Balenciaga’s latest bracelet looks like a roll of tape, sparks controversy

<p>Balenciaga is not past its over-the-top and in-your-face fashion as the luxury label stunned everyone with its latest towel skirt that is priced at a whopping $925 (Rs 77,000). The towel skirt is a gray terry cloth towel that is worn as a mid-rise knee-length skirt. The skirt is part of the label’s spring 2024 collection. The towel skirt, however, did not make it to the Paris Fashion Week and we wonder why.</p>

<p>Available in three colours like beige, black, and stone gray, the towel skirt has become a talking point, and rightfully so. Made with towel material and fitted with two buttons and a belt on the inside, the skirt is nothing more than what we wrap ourselves when fresh out of the shower.</p>

<p>The towel skirt has become a huge talking point on the internet with netizens slamming the brand and making fun of the skirt that is nothing more than a good old towel that you can wrap on your own and will make at a fraction of the cost of this towel skirt.</p>

<p>It seems like Balenciaga's ad saga will not end anytime soon. After a few days of silence, the photographer who took the photo of the children has revealed that he has been getting death threats.&nbsp;Gabriele Galimberti, the famous photographer who took the photos of the children posing with teddy bears wearing bondage gear for the renowned fashion brand, has revealed that he has been getting several death threats over his photoshoot that stirred major controversy.<br />
<br />
In his recent interview with The Guardian, the photographer said: "I get messages like, 'We know where you live. We are coming to kill you and your family.' 'We are going to burn your house.' You have to kill yourself, you fucking paedophile.'"<br />
<br />
Adding further, Gabriele said, "He said 90% of the messages were from people in the US."<br />
<br />
Sharing more details about how the controversial ad was shot, Gabriele said that while shooting, he didn't feel anything was wrong. And the kids who posed in the controversial ad were&nbsp;the children of Balenciaga employees.<br />
<br />
Revealing that they first used mannequins as a test before clicking the pictures with the children, he said, "We took some photos, and then the photos were going from my camera to someone’s computer, and then they were sending these photos to someone at the headquarters of Balenciaga.''<br />
<br />
"When they say OK, we simply replace the mannequin with a real kid."<br />
<br />
Galimberti said&nbsp;that he does not know who approved the photographs.<br />
<br />
"I can tell if we are going too far or not, but on that occasion, I trusted them and didn’t see anything so wrong," Galimberti said.<br />
<br />
The photographer has only worked with Balenciaga's advertising campaign featuring children holding teddy bears. And not on the Adidas x Balenciaga campaign, which featured&nbsp;a handbag on top of documents detailing a court case about child pornography, as per The Guardian.<br />
<br />
So, both outlets were mixed with many thinking that he has shot both campaigns. As a result, many media houses have published both pictures under his name and claimed that Galimberti has been involved in a child pornography case also. The photographer is now&nbsp;planning to sue four media houses.<br />
<br />
Luxury fashion brand Balenciaga issued another apology letter for its controversial ad campaign that featured young kids holding BDSM-themed teddy bears covered with bandages.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-balenciaga-issues-another-apology-letter-amid-backlash-internal--external-investigations-are-ongoing-538405https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-balenciaga-issues-another-apology-letter-amid-backlash-internal--external-investigations-are-ongoing-538405"> Read the full statement here.</a><br />

Balenciaga's teddy bear ad photographer receives death threats

Balenciaga's latest ad campaign has created an uproar on social media as many felt the ads sexualised children. The ads that were removed later after backlash featured little girls holding teddy bears in bondage gear. This is not the first time that Balenciaga has hit headlines for its bizarre fashion choices. Here have a look at the number of times that Balenciaga created headlines for its bizarre fashion products.

Five times  grabbed headlines for their products

<p>As hundreds of people on TikTok and Twitter urge to #cancelBalenciaga, the high-end fashion house&nbsp;has issued an apology for its contentious holiday ad campaign that featured kids carrying fetish-adorned purses and teddy bears.&nbsp;A comment about the giving and receiving of gifts was the goal of the Gift Shop campaign, which was shot by famous photographer Gabriele Galimberti and was motivated by Galimberti's own "toy tale" photographic series. However, the portrayal of young children holding bears while wearing bondage-style clothing, such as fishnets, cuffs, and harnesses, infuriated online users. <strong>We explain the case in-depth.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h2><strong>Balenciaga's apology</strong></h2>

<p>"We sincerely apologise for any offence our Holiday campaign may have caused," Balenciaga said in a statement.</p>

<p>"Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms."</p>

<p>Kim Kardashian, one of Balenciaga's most outspoken supporters, has also expressed her disapproval of the company, saying she was "shocked and outraged."</p>

<p>"I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven't been shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened," she wrote in an Instagram story.</p>

<p>"As a mother of four, I have been shaken by those disturbing images. The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and anything against it should have no place in our society - period," she added.</p>

<p>"I appreciate Balenciaga's removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again."</p>

<h2><strong>Backstory</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The hashtag #cancelbalenciaga has received over 105k views on TikTok alone, with the majority of them being credited to video producers who explained why the holiday promotion is so abhorrent.</p>

<p>Balenciaga has recently gained a reputation for its unconventional fashion campaigns, whether it was due to the editorial-style advertisement's location or the brand's imaginative casting. This strategy, which they have used successfully thus far, is reflected in their store designs, runway presentations, and even the product line they offer. According to fashion aggregator and trend forecaster Lyst, Balenciaga has been one of the top 5 hottest fashion brands in the world for four years running. Their innovative approach to fashion has elevated the brand to a sought-after position never before achieved.</p>

<p>But this Gift Shop campaign was always going to stir up the wrong kind of outrage; anything that even remotely suggests sexualizing minors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the Christmas season, a new collection of giftable items, including Champagne glasses, pet bowls with jewels, and teddy bears, was introduced, and to support it, a campaign was started earlier this month. In order to "iterate on the artist's series 'Toy Stories,' an investigation of what individuals acquire and receive as gifts," Balenciaga hired photojournalist Gabriel Galimberti to photograph the campaign.</p>

Balenciaga controversial campaign: Why is the luxury brand causing such a stir?

<p>Fashion brand Balenciaga issued an apology on Tuesday after it faced backlash over its recent ad campaign that featured little girls holding stuffed animals in bondage gear. The ad campaign was deemed as 'inappropriate' and 'disturbing' by many on Twitter.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, after receiving severe criticism on social media, the luxury fashion brand issued a statement on its Instagram story.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"We apologise for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign. We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our Spring 23 campaign photoshoot. We strongly condemn the abuse of children in any form. We stand for children's safety and well-being," the statement read.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In another Instagram Story, the brand said that the "plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign" and added that images of the campaign have been removed from all of the brand's platforms.&nbsp;</p>

The new advertisements were posted earlier this week to promote the brand's online holiday gift shop. The photographs featured children posing with teddy bears in bondage gear which included fishnet tops, collars with locks, and ankle/wrist restraints.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One eagle-eyed Youtuber had also shared another image from the same campaign which had a Balenciaga bag placed on top of a document. When one zoomed into it, the document was a court order on child pornography.&nbsp;<br />

Many on social media found the entire campaign problematic and accused Balenciaga of sexualising children.&nbsp;</p>

Even after the brand apologised for the pictures and removed the photos online, some users said that they are not buying Balenciaga's apology. One user reacted to the apology and said, "Nice try Balenciaga. Let's just get rid of all law enforcement and have apology enforcement. Imagine that kind of world? Ho wait we are in it NOW! Enough with child exploitation! Balenciaga- leave the children ALONE or pay the LEGAL CONSEQUENCES."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The apology came just days after the fashion brand quit Twitter as Elon Musk took over the social media platform.&nbsp;</p>


Fashion brand Balenciaga issued an apology on Tuesday after it faced backlash over its recent ad campaign that featured little girls holding stuffed animals in bondage gear.

Fashion brand Balenciaga issued an apology on Tuesday after it faced backlash over its recent ad campaign that featured little girls holding stuffed animals in bondage gear. The ad campaign was deemed as 'inappropriate' and 'disturbing' by many on Twitter. On Tuesday, after receiving severe criticism on social media, the luxury fashion brand issued a statement on its Instagram story. "We apologise for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign. We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our Spring 23 campaign photoshoot. We strongly condemn the abuse of children in any form. We stand for children's safety and well-being," the statement read. In another Instagram Story, the brand said that the "plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign" and added that images of the campaign have been removed from all of the brand's platforms. The new advertisements were posted earlier this week to promote the brand's online holiday gift shop. The photographs featured children posing with teddy bears in bondage gear which included fishnet tops, collars with locks, and ankle/wrist restraints. One eagle-eyed Youtuber had also shared another image from the same campaign which had a Balenciaga bag placed on top of a document. When one zoomed into it, the document was a court order on child pornography. Many on social media found the entire campaign problematic and accused Balenciaga of sexualising children. Balenciaga called out again for its new ad featuring kids posing with toys in bondage gear Even after the brand apologised for the pictures and removed the photos online, some users said that they are not buying Balenciaga's apology. One user reacted to the apology and said, "Nice try Balenciaga. Let's just get rid of all law enforcement and have apology enforcement. Imagine that kind of world? Ho wait we are in it NOW!

The apology came just days after the fashion brand quit Twitter as Elon Musk took over the social media platform.

<p>Luxury fashion brand Balenciaga is under the line of fire on social media again. This time for its latest advertisement that features two young girls holding stuffed animals dressed in what appears to be bondage gear.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
That's not all, an eagle-eyed fashion critic has highlighted another photo from the same advertisement shoot that shows documents tucked under a Balenciaga handbag. When one zooms into the photo, the documents appear to be a court case about child pornography.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
YouTuber June Lapine, who goes by the name Shoe0nHead on social media, called out the bizarre images on Twitter.<br />
<br />
“The brand ‘Balenciaga’ just did a uh … interesting … photo-shoot for their new products recently which included a very purposely poorly hidden court document about ‘virtual child porn’. Normal stuff,” she wrote.</p>

What if we tell you that you can open your lay's packet, eat the chips and carry it out as a bag as well but it will cost you about eighteen hundred dollars? The Spanish luxury brand Balenciaga is back with yet another whimsical bag.

<p>Would you wear shoelaces as earrings? Luxury fashion brand Balenciaga has introduced new earrings in the market which are literally shoe laces tied in a bow. The earrings have been dissed not just by the masses but even high fashion snobs and websites.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Most cannot seem to digest the price of the earrings. The fashion brand has priced the shoelace earrings at USD 250. The earrings are literally shoe laces glued to earring backs.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Highsnobsociety, a fashion watchdog of sorts on Instagram, shared an image of the new earrings and wrote, "Every so often something lands on our desk that’s just too stupid to let lie."<br />
<br />
"Regardless of whether MATCHESFASHION describes them as an example of "Demna’s ability to incorporate everyday objects into the house’s jewellery collections," they simply are shoelaces with earrings glued to them."</p>

Would you wear shoelaces as earrings? Luxury fashion brand Balenciaga has introduced new earrings in the market which are literally shoe laces tied in a bow. The earrings have been dissed not just by the masses but even high fashion snobs and websites.

Would you wear shoelaces as earrings? Luxury fashion brand Balenciaga has introduced new earrings in the market which are literally shoe laces tied in a bow. The earrings have been dissed not just by the masses but even high fashion snobs and websites. Most cannot seem to digest the price of the earrings. The fashion brand has priced the shoelace earrings at USD 250. The earrings are literally shoe laces glued to earring backs. Highsnobsociety, a fashion watchdog of sorts on Instagram, shared an image of the new earrings and wrote, "Every so often something lands on our desk that’s just too stupid to let lie." "Regardless of whether MATCHESFASHION describes them as an example of "Demna’s ability to incorporate everyday objects into the house’s jewellery collections," they simply are shoelaces with earrings glued to them."

Balenciaga gets called out for pricing shoelace earrings for $250

Netizens troll luxury fashion brand Balenciaga's fashion show

<p>One can never fully understand fashion. Luxury brand Balenciaga is being trolled on the internet for their new &nbsp;'Paris Sneaker' collection. &nbsp;The distressed shoes line feature 100 pairs of limited edition fully destroyed sneakers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The new line features both high-top sneakers and mules and is available for pre-order online worldwide. The collection though had got the internet talking for all the wrong reasons. The distressed sneakers are priced between Rs 1.4 lacs (USD 1,850)&nbsp;&nbsp;to Rs 48,279 (USD 625) and most on the internet had stated that the fully destroyed luxury sneakers look like they have been "excavated from an ancient site or a landfill".<br />
<br />
Balencia, meanwhile, added a note explaining the idea behind their new line of sneakers. According to the luxury brand, the new line of "</p>

<p>Balenciaga announced the collection with a note explaining the idea behind the sneakers. According to them, the new have been worn and marked up and dirtied on purpose. The sneakers are "a retooled classic design which interprets mid-century athleticism and timeless casual wear in black, white, or red, with a white rubber sole and toe. It is finished with distressed canvas and rough edges, affecting a pre-worn look." The collection comes in lace-up style, either high-top or backless, and meant to be 'worn for a lifetime'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Looking at the sneakers, it isn't clear if they really can last a lifetime but what is more ironic is the price tag attached to them. Netizens are obviously baffled about the new collection.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kim Kardashian&nbsp;never fails to&nbsp;turn&nbsp;heads with her fashion choices.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kardashian, who is now legally single, put her voluptuous curves on full display as she stepped out for the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on Sunday.</p>

<p><a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/hollywood/news-kanye-west-says-divorce-feels-like-covid-in-a-poem-amid-kim-kardashian-split-459327" hreflang="en">Kanye West says divorce feels like 'covid' in a poem amid Kim Kardashian split</a><br />
<br />
For the night, Kim K opted for a distinctive skintight suit from the Spanish label, but the thing that made her look stand out was the tape. Yes, you read it right.</p>

<p>For the night,&nbsp;Kardashian wrapped herself with the caution tape, the one you had seen in crime scene reading -Do not cross, but the tape in which the mother-of-four was wrapped was reading Balenciaga.&nbsp;</p>

<p>High-end fashion label Balenciaga faced flak on the internet after it listed a pair of sweatpants that netizens thought rips off black culture and is “racist” in nature.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sweatpants are worth $1,190 (£860) and are Trompe L'Oeil pants that feature a built-in pair of boxer shorts peeking out from the waistband, mimicking a style popularised by hip hop musicians.</p>

<p>In their product description, Balenciaga said that it often combined wardrobe pieces into a single garment. Examples include "jeans layered over tracksuit pants [and] button-up shirts layered over t-shirts", said chief marketing officer Ludivine Pont. She said, "These Trompe L'Oeil trousers were an extension of that vision.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile, people are not taking this lightly and called the trend ripping off from Black artists as they popularised this during the 1990s and 2000s. The Gen X would remember these sagging pants that would often show the boxers underneath as it became a part of pop culture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netizens stand divided on the matter with one section calling it “racist” while the other feels that it was a common trend from the 90s and is not racist at all.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Most often, these luxury brands sell things that have a huge resemblance to our <em>desi</em> life--basically, they take&nbsp;the idea and make an exact copy and sell&nbsp;it for&nbsp;an outrageous amount&nbsp;that leaves people with a mild heartache.</p>

<p><br />
Now, the internet is back again trolling luxury fashion house Balenciaga for selling bags that have an uncanny resembling to&nbsp;the plastic bags or--in <em>desi</em> language--we call it <em>thailas</em>.&nbsp;</p>
