Balenciaga Threw Children, Kardashian, Kidman, Hadid and Fashion World to the Wolves AOC She

Kanye West issued a statement on behalf of Balenciaga Thursday, December 1 — after he spent most of the day extolling Adolf Hitler and the positive attributes of Nazis.

“I stand by Balenciaga and denounce all witch hunts and I cancel cancel culture Jesus is King Ending trafficking doesn’t start or end with a fashion campaign for Christ Sake,” West said in the midst of a Twitterstorm late Thursday, before Elon Musk suspended his account.

West — legally known as Ye — followed his post above with “Never turn our backs Demna and the Balenciaga family for life Cancel cancel culture Jesus please heal.”

It was Kanye’s swastika on top of a Star of David that finally got Twitter owner Elon Musk to shut West down.

Who knows what finally prompted Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia to issue a statement on Friday — taking responsibility for the destructive to children Balenciaga campaign and a related Balenciaga campaign for boss-lady grownups.

If Ye is to be believed, Balenciaga’s Demna actually texted his very close friend on Friday, begging West to ask his fans to “stop Denma hate.” We didn’t see the tweets and Kanye’s Twitter account is now suspended.

Ye suposedly responded with “Love cures everythng, Love Denma.” So that is the context of Kanye’s tweets urging love towards Balenciaga.

Is Balenciaga Astoundingly Creative or Just Edgy and Subversive Enough to Get Headlines?

Balenciaga forces consumers to question what “taste” even means anymore at a time in America when progressive Democrats are regularly accused of being sexual ‘groomers’ of children.

My own anger at Balenciaga comes from three main sources:

1) Few Professionals Believe that the Kiddie BDSM Bears Campaign Didn’t Come Out of Demna’s Staff Orbit — If Not the Designer Himself

In refusing until now to accept responsibility for a Balenciaga campaign that few of us believe ever came to life without the approval of Demna or someone very high up, who reports to him at Balenciaga, Demna undercuts his own relationship with the fashion industry.

Until Friday, Balenciaga has blamed everyone but their own executives for this awful mistake somehow happening. We know how creative photoshoots happen and who is in charge of what.

2) Balenciaga Threw Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, Bella Hadid and more to the Wolves

However the campaign came to be, in refusing to take responsibility for the child pornography images themselves — instead of blaming everyone else including the photographer — Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia and CEO Cédric Charbit frankly threw Kim Kardashian to the wolves — as Balenciaga’s biggest face.

The mother of four, who was recently honored by Baby2Baby at its annual gala, is a frequent face for the Balenciaga brand. Were they thinking about Kim for one minute when launching these images?

Hypebeast, linked below, doesn’t say who from Balenciaga was actually at the photoshoots, but they do say that Balenciaga was well-represented. For fashion industry professionals, we know this had to be the case. Seriously, how stupid does Balenciaga think we are?

Besides the potential damage the Balenciaga egos were willing to inflict on Kim Kardashisn, they did the same thing with Nicole Kidman and Bella Hadid in the recent Garde Robe campaign, which AOC thought was terrific.

AND, our ability to protect Salma Hayek from being shamed for silence on Balenciaga’s quasi-criminal betrayal of women and children has moved from a smoldering fire pit to a level 4 out of 10 fire.

Salma Hayek is married to Francois-Henri Pinault, the Chairman and CEO of Kering Group, the parent company of Balenciaga.

Additionally Demna, there is a story on page 1 Google with the right key-word search [it’s an obvious one] that concerns your friend LV. We did not report this and would not. But you better jump on that article quickly — before it becomes a sky-high lava burst that puts Balenciaga to bed once and for all. You have a BIG PROBLEM on your hands, sir.

To suggest that it was an accident that the papers referred to a kiddie porn court case is absurd. But let me not get sued after my strong defense of successful women and children.

I must be wrong in my own intuition here.

The Balenciaga folks are high-minded, principled business leaders advocating the highest ethical standards for their brand and the way they do business.

We just don’t understand the inside joke they are playing on us women and children. This is a historical reality — that women are dimwits compared to the towering intellect of men. Just ask MAGA Republicans.

We must be humble, ladies. Like Kanye, Demna is a demi-god. We can’t process this degree of greatness standing so close to us and we certainly can’t judge it.

As good women, we should find the proper deference to genius in our presence. It’s a struggle some days, but the defect is certainly mine and yours, too.

Violence Against the LGBTQ Community in America Is Skyrocketing

3) We all condemn the world of child pornography and using kids as ‘edgy props in a Balenciaga campaign. But what upsets me the most about this Balenciaga story and the executives refusing to take responsibility for it is the November 20, 2022 shootings at Club Q in Colorado Springs.

As progressive Democrats we are operating under the cloud of being ‘groomers’ of kids for pedophiles. That horric charge leveled at us at random by the MAGA crowd does not need Balenciaga jumping into the fray and lighting a bonfire that gives them more ammunition.

America has angry vigilantes toting AR-15s and other high-capacity guns killing people at random — and many of those people are members of the LGBTQ community.

In fact, Balenciaga has made ‘props’ out of all of us, not only children.

There is no doubt that fashion world made a demi-god of Demna Gvasalia, and so one can argue that we are getting what we deserve. But the people who died in Club Q did not deserve what they got.

If Balenciaga or any other fashion brand is stoking this fire for their own amusement and notoriety, shame on them.

I have nothing but disgust for Balenciaga’s behavior in this entire proceeding. But it’s the innocent LGBTQ people shot up all over Amnerica and the children being trafficked across our borders that suffer the most.

As if we don’t have enough to worry about, needy, oversized egos use such a sad state of affairs in which to frolic and generate big profits. ~ Anne

These are the apologies issued by Balenciaga executives on Friday, December 2, 2022

Question from Anne: Every new story about Kanye [Ye] West confirms that he expressed his love of Nazis and antisemitism for years. I’ve confirmed his love of Putin since 2019, writing regularly about West.

Demna’s relationship with Ye is probably the closest one of all Kanye’s deep ‘loves’. Both creatives have extolled their deep bond at every opportunity over for years.

Did Ye regularly express his love of Hitler to Demna? How did Balenciaga handle Kanye’s expressions of antisemitism and love of Hitler and Putin — if it was expressed?

If unlike almost every other business and media story written about Kanye’s antisemitism towards Jews and love of Hitler being regularly and casually expressed in groups, if Balenciaga never heard Ye’s antisemitism expressed, why do you think Balenciaga had such a unique experience with Ye? Why would the Balenciaga experience be so totally different from what Adidas is reporting, for example???

This inquiring mind wants to know the facts. ~ Anne
