Ain't no way anybody thinks this looks good. They just get cheap stuff from China that purposefully looks horrible and sell it to rich assholes at ridiculous prices.

anyone else remembers Balenciaga's Paedophile connection? I feel like i'm going insane
There was a Balenciaga ad that had some paper with text visible. The text was from the SCOTUS ruling that said virtual CP was not CP under the law.They sued the producer of the ad, claiming it was them that provided the prop.
Weird as hell, but I'm not sure it means anything.
There was no connection, it was some shit thrown to the wall to see it anything stick and nothing did.
i mean it's the normal connection that every industry that employs young attractive people in a performance capacity has, which is that they are offered life changing sums of cash and gigs in exchange for sexual favors
Well yes but specifically, this particular controversy was about using some AI/fake child in an advertisement featuring sexualized clothes
Never mind. It was a real child.
So, for everyone being aware of the pictures:

I don't think the kids are being sexualized, and how I read it, it looks more like a critique of the use of ever younger models on the fashion industry.
oh shit lmao was that it? i'll be honest if this makes you mad you are a rightist like it would not take much to convince you that we need to end pride parades and drag queen story hour.
For real, like compare it with this:

And tell me who is the one sexualizing little kids?
