A world-renowned fashion company has been criticized for a disturbing advertisement campaign it recently released.
Balenciaga, a luxury fashion house, rolled out advertisements that display two young girls posing with BDSM-clad teddy bears with Balenciaga bondage and kink material in the foreground.
In one photo, a young girl is standing on a sofa while holding a teddy bear dressed in a collar and a leather chest harness.
Another Balenciaga ad displays a child standing atop a bed holding a teddy bear dressed in a fishnet top, with a leather collar, and wrist and ankle restraints.
The teddy bears are from Balenciaga’s Spring 2023 collection.
Another Balenciaga advertisement displaying a handbag on a cluttered workspace alarmed social media users after a court document from a virtual child porn case was spotted on the desk.
The document contains an excerpt from the United States Supreme Court’s opinion on United States v. Williams. This case upheld part of a federal child pornography law criminalizing “advertising, promoting, presenting or distributing child pornography even if the underlying material does not constitute child pornography.”

Leftwing and rightwing social media users alike are questioning why Balenciaga would publish such bizarre advertisements.
“the brand ‘Balenciaga’ just did a uh….. interesting… photoshoot for their new products recently which included a very purposely poorly hidden court document about ‘virtual child porn’ normal stuff,” @shoe0nhead, a leftist influencer, posted on Twitter.

Twitter users ripped into Balenciaga, calling their advertisements “horrific,” “absolutely demonic,” “sickening,” and a glamorization of “child and female abuse.”
“Why would a multi-million-dollar fashion company like Balenciaga run ads for their “Object Line” using children holding teddy bears in bondage costumes? Why would they place a copy of a court document on child pornography in the ad? Who are targeting and what are they promoting?” one user questioned.
“Another photos from Balenciagas new ad campaign. A model with makeup to look like she has Black eyes. Now now only is Balenciaga glamourising child abuse it’s also glamourizing violence against women!” one Twitter user tweeted, posting a photo of a Balenciaga model with a black eye and damaged face who is holding one of the fashion house’s teddy bears.
