The photo shoot featured the children surrounded with empty wine and champagne glasses.
Many were immediately disturbed by the clearly adult themes and asked why children have ever been used.

He Balenciaga finally released its own statement, agreeing to his statement and accepting responsibility for the campaign.
It has been removed from internet.
Hidden porn files for children
After The BDSM is a fiasco. Eager critics began to examine the rest Balenciaga campaigns.
Soon, they discovered that the background of the Spring ’23 image was actually a printout from the Supreme Court regarding whether internet child porn is legal.
Many critics said that the scandal surrounding the bears suggested a troubling pattern in Balenciaga.
Balenciaga quickly blamed North Six, a production firm that helped organize the shoot, and for including those documents.
They claimed they had given all props for the photoshoot over to North Six and that their team was told everything was fake.
The disturbing book by an artist whose artwork depicts naked, castrated toddlers

Borremans also created the 2017 series Fire. From The Sun features castrated babies and toddlers holding what appear to be severed limbs while playing nude together in large groups.
Misan Harriman is the chair of London’s Southbank Centre. He is also a photographer.
The average man and women need to go see the leaders of the industry, the stakeholders in the sector, and call out the abuse of children within this industry. This should rise above the parties you’re attending in this winter season and the shows you’re going to.
‘This moment is on you – you have to decide whether you can know that children are not being protected by the industry that feeds you – or have polite indifference,’ he said.
Nigel Farage, a former politician and TV host in the UK, asked why the scandal was not getting more attention from the media.
Balenciaga stars are being called out by many for distancing themselves from the brand.
“We live in cancel culture but only if we have conservative opinions. If you’re on a left-leaning party and you support pedophilia everyone stays schtum. He said it was disgusting.

Yesterday Balenciaga attempted a redressal to the scandals. It released a statement where it apologized for the BDSM Bears campaign but blamed the other shoots on a design production firm.
Demna, its revered creative director, continues to repost that statement on social media but he is yet to offer any of his own.
The brand is still working on the inclusion of Michael Borremans’ book in the shoot.
Borremans’ 2017 work, Fire From The Sun is a disturbing series that depicts toddlers covered in blood, some of whom have been castrated.
These images were posted yesterday to the dismay of many, but they are still being addressed.
Balenciaga’s most recent statement admits the Teddy Bears scandal, for which it accepts responsibility, and also the SCOTUS child porn ruling, as it is included in an additional photo, but does not mention the Borremans book.
