Balenciaga has had no shortage of headlines the past couple of weeks. Initially, they were ridiculed for an ad campaign that featured toddlers holding teddy bears dressed in kink and bondage leather chains, etc. Then, a US Supreme Court decision regarding child pornography was discovered conspicuously hidden in a Balenciaga handbag.
Once they pulled that ad campaign, it was replaced with another that contained a book written by a controversial artist with questionable links to cannibalism, occultism, pedophilia and more. Another book in the same shoot was tied to “Cremaster”, which is a male sexual body part that involves the testes.
Now, Balenciaga’s parent company, Kering, is in the limelight. That company’s CEO, François-Henri Pinault, also owns Christies, an auction site that focuses on overpriced art and historic artifacts. As of this publishing, they have a collection listed that would land most any Average Joe in a courtroom.
Many of the “art” pieces feature what appear to be young children with their noses and mouths replaced by a penis and a round orifice directly below.
This discovery was originally made by strangesound.org. There appears to be a consistent theme celebrating young children in vulnerable situations surrounding this entity of organizations.
