Balenciaga has taken a hit yet again over photographs from an axed ad campaign that shows a book featuring a Belgian artist whose work includes depictions of castrated toddlers.

Cristobal Balenciaga was born in 1895 in Getaria, in Spain's Basque country, and at the early age of twenty-four he created his own couture house in San Sebastian. He opened in Barcelona in 1933, in Madrid in 1935, and in 1948 on the Avenue Georges V in Paris, where he could serve a more international clientele. Cristobal Balenciaga retired in 1968 and died in reclusion in his native Spain in 1972.The series is titled Fire From The Sun and shows young children with blood-soaked skin and some castrated Balenciaga said all the items in the shoot “were provided by third parties that confirmed in writing that these props were fake office documents. They turned out to be real legal papers most likely coming from the filming of a television drama.” Revealed: Chilling 15-second dispatch call to first responders sent to Matthew Perry's house that referred to a 'drowning' - after Friends star's assistant had made 911 call

On Monday, all eyes in the industry will be on the Fashion Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where Demna, who does not use his surname, has been tipped to win Designer of the Year.

Notably, Balenciaga’s Garde-Robe effort came just days after another, equally controversial series of advertisements from the company.

Granary, which was founded by Central Saint Martins students to represent talent in the fashion industry, condemned Balenciaga's response. Friends cast are 'working on a joint statement' to release after beloved co-star Matthew Perry's sudden death Optimism is a word we’ve heard over and over again this season. With rare exceptions designers have put on their blinders and decided it’s their job to help us shrug off the world’s sorrows and shop our despair away. Not Balenciaga’s Demna. Rising inequality, the return of fascism, the very real threat of nuclear war. He laid it all out at his post-apocalyptic show today, trying, I think, to shake us awake.Just another coincidence? Photos from scrapped Balenciaga campaign feature book by artist whose works include castrated toddlers... after bondage teddy bears fiasco and hidden child porn docs Brand ambassador Kim Kardashian, who modelled in July’s haute couture catwalk show in Paris, is “re-evaluating” her relationship with the house. “As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,” she tweeted, although she stopped short of direct criticism of Demna or Balenciaga. The two separate ad campaigns in questions reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility.

This was a wrong choice by Balenciaga, combined with our failure in assessing and validating images. The responsibility for this lies with Balenciaga alone,' it said. Conspiracy-minded people online drew connections between the court document and Barney and Borremans’s books, suggesting that a hidden message about child abuse was embedded in the fashion brand’s promotional material. There are no connections whatsoever between Balenciaga and Borremans... none of the suggestions are factual,' Robin Meason, Balenciaga's global PR director, told DailyMail.com. On November 21, Balenciaga released images from its 2023 Garde-Robe advertising campaign, which cast Nicole Kidman, Isabelle Huppert, and Bella Hadid in seemingly innocuous office settings. But eagled-eyed social media users pointed out that one shot included a printed-out copy of the Supreme Court’s 2008 decision in U.S. v. Williams, which held that the promotion of child pornography is not protected under the first amendment.
