Fashion is a flaky fellow. Whether we chase it or create it, we all see it and are able to have a judgment on it. This week, such was the case with the luxury brand, Balenciaga, where children were seen in very questionable scenarios in its latest campaign. Whether it’s child abuse or just a waste of money, celebs with ties to the brand, like Kim Kardashian are reflecting on their choices.
According to CNN, Balenciaga’s latest ad campaign featured teddy bears dressed in bondage gear and it is unsurprisingly getting severe backlash on its creative choices. Kim Kardashian recently wore an identity-obscuring all-black outfit by Balenciaga to Paris fashion week.
The now infamous Kim Kardashian all-black ensemble is closely tied to the fashion mogul as it was hard to miss since the Balenciaga get-up covered her entirely, including her face. So, now she is tied a bit too tightly to the brand.
Kim Kardashian has reported that will re-examine her relationship with the luxury brand moving forward. She reportedly did not disclose her plans right away as she wanted time to discuss such a strategic move with her team.
Because Kim Kardashian is a mother and has an enormous social media following, fans the world over were waiting for her to make a statement about the brand’s missteps.
However, the brand has removed all the disturbing images and she said she is relieved and happy with the move. If she will remain as one of the brand’s muses, time will only tell.
Top A-list celebs, like Kim Kardashian, are quite known for their sometimes questionable fashion choices like the Jacquemus Bag, which is tiny and can come in at 4 x 2.5 inches.
While not incendiary, the bag is quite small and a bit, well, purposeless. Prices vary, as well does their size. But, starting out at $700, one can only assume this is just a drop in the bucket for someone as wealthy as Kim K.
Although the Kardashians are certainly no strangers to fashion drama, it seems to help them rise to the top of our feeds. And, we can’t get enough. Kanye West, ironically, Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband is also in the center of the fashion world’s ire.
West, once the rebel darling of the fashion world and acclaimed rapper, has found himself at the center of intense controversy after he made remarks about the Jewish community. He is now ousted by most, if not all, labels including Gap and Adidas.
Although some controversy is created by celebrities in order to get their name out there, if either Balenciaga’s or West’s was the product of some publicists, they messed up royally. Kanye West has lost his billionaire status and whether or not the fashion brand can fix their soiled reputation is unknown.
What is known, however, is that we’re all still talking about Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and now luxury fashion brands. One has to wonder if you can’t make it with talent, perhaps you can make it to the top with controversy. As Oscar Wilde said, “the only thing worth than being talked about, is not being talked about.”
