Kim Kardashian ‘Re-Evaluated’ Her Relationship With Balenciaga — Now She’s Their Brand Ambassador

Kim Kardashian has been named brand ambassador at Balenciaga, two years after the fashion house was embroiled in controversy.

After a holiday collection photoshoot featuring children led to a deep-seated pedophilia conspiracy, the mogul — who has worn Balenciaga to the Met Gala in addition to walking in one of their Paris Fashion Week shows — issued a statement saying that she would be “re-evaluating” her relationship with the brand. “I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” she said in the immediate wake of the controversial ad, which featured children photographed with what appeared to be BDSM-themed teddy bears. As the controversy grew, social media users were quick to highlight that one of the public photos of the campaign featured a page of the Supreme Court case United States v. Williams — which prohibited the pandering of child pornography.
