Kim Kardashian, received a lot of backlash after she was photographed wearing a Balenciaga custom-made pink knitted evening gown embellished with crystals. On Reddit, a thread titled ‘Kim’s Balenciaga Ensemble Stir Controversy’ saw online users voice their dissatisfaction and bad feelings about Kardashian’s dress choice. “I’m not taken aback, I’m certain she’d sell her children to Balenciaga if they asked,” one user said, while another said, “I’m sure she’s unhappy that they didn’t ask to put them in the bondage ad.” Balenciaga, a Paris-based luxury fashion company, became embroiled in controversy in 2022 as the consequence of two extremely divisive spring advertising campaigns. One of these commercials had toddlers holding handbags that resembled teddy bears dressed in bondage gear.
The second advertisement contained photos of juvenile pornographic documents. Balenciaga’s conduct elicited widespread public indignation. In response, the design house’s management issued a public apology online, expressing their great remorse for the ads. Nonetheless, the harm had been done, and the dispute had left an indelible mark. This is not the first time that the Kardashian star has stirred controversy. Kim Kardashian sparked a scandal in September 2019 with her Skims company owing to the promotion of “waist trainers.” These items involved the usage of a corset-style garment designed to reduce waist size. The practice had come under fire from medical experts and doctors who saw it as harmful.
