Luxury brand Balenciaga has issued an apology for its recent advertisements featuring children with sexualized teddy bears. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms," the company wrote in a statement posted to its Instagram story on Tuesday. The photos featured children posing with the company's plush bear bags, which wear BDSM-inspired harnesses. Balenciaga's ad campaign featured its Spring/Summer 2023 collection, which debuted this fall at Paris Fashion Week.
