Kering and other fashion brands did not respond to questions from Fox News Digital about whether the brands support minors being featured in ads with bondage-style clothing.
Days later, Balenciaga released their 2023 Garde Robe campaign featuring prominent figures like Nicole Kidman and Bella Hadid. The campaign, which was made to look like an office setting, included paperwork from a Supreme Court case about child pornography. A firestorm began to brew on social media with critics connecting the two ads, and accusing the fashion brand of normalizing child pornography.
Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen did not respond to questions from Fox News Digital about whether BDSM-style attire has a place in the high fashion world, or whether minors should be featured in ads with this style of clothing. The companies also did not respond to questions about how they would ensure similar ad campaigns were not produced.
