The stuff with Balencaiga is absolutely BONKERS. We dive deep into the rabbit hole to sift through the Balenciaga Fact VS. Fiction.

Quick Synopsis of the scandal from The Cut:
"Earlier this month, Balenciaga dropped its holiday ad campaign, featuring children holding teddy bears in bondage harnesses and costumes...The backlash against the images has been swift, with the hashtag #cancelBalenciaga trending across Twitter and TikTok and many accusing the brand and its creative director, Demna, of condoning pedophilia and child exploitation. In a separate ad that dropped on November 21 promoting Balenciaga’s spring/summer 2023 collection, a bag from the fashion house’s collaboration with Adidas was photographed atop copies of what appear to be documents from the Supreme Court case United States v. Williams, a ruling that upheld the PROTECT Act, which increased federal protections against child pornography." - The Cut
