After days of backlash, Balenciaga publicly on Monday condemned child abuse and took full responsibility for the controversies surrounding its recent ad campaigns. But one of the photographers swept up in the firestorm, said that was a little too late.
The criticism kicked off after Balenciaga released a campaign for its Gift Collection featuring six children, including some holding plush bear toys that some perceived to be strapped in bondage. That was shot in Paris by Galimberti.
North Six logistically managed the campaign in the office setting, but it was not involved with the Gift Collection campaign featuring the questionable teddy bears. Some social media critics and select members of the media mistakenly conflated the two campaigns and stated that the Supreme Court document was featured in the campaign with the children.
