Beyond Balenciaga
Part 1
Most of you are probably aware of the scandal surrounding the fashion/style company Balenciaga (sometimes spelled Baalenciaga by the company itself). They are facing severe backlash after it was discovered they featured ads with a young girl carrying a teddy bear bag which featured the bear wearing BDSM bondage gear. Upon closer inspection of the image papers could been seen of the Supreme Court case Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition. This case was about what constituted free speech vs. child pornography with the case declaring that certain sexualized images of children was protected art. Another Balenciaga picture featured a book by Michael Borremans in the background. Borremans has drawn pictures of naked children bleeding from severed limbs. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-28/balenciaga-designer-brand-controversial-campaign-explained/101707536 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bael_(demon) https://timcast.com/news/more-disturbing-details-observed-in-balenciagas-controversial-advertisements/
discovered that Jeffrey Epstein’s associate Rachel Chandler does the casting for Balenciaga and has great sway in the company due to her connection with Balenciaga’s creative director Demna. Oli London did a great job of explaining the Rachel Chandler connection. In short, the company is not merely sexualizing children but associated with those who fraternize with child sex traffickers and are possibly traffickers themselves. https://archive.ph/vysPW

There is more to the case than we ever would have expected. Balenciaga is owned by the parent company Kering. Kering is controlled by the French Francois-Henri Pinault the son of its founder Francois Pinault. The wife of Francois-Henri Pinault is the actress Salma Hayek. The Pinault family is huge in the art world and one of the top art collectors, not just in France, but in the world. Balenciaga is not even the top money maker of Kering, their top luxury product company is Gucci. The rival of the Pinaults is Bernard Arnault of LVMH. Arnault is also a French businessman and a top art collector who controls the fashion company Loius Vuitton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinault_Collection https://robbreport.com/style/fashion/bernard-arnault-vs-francois-pinault-best-billionaire-2863135/ https://www.brides.com/who-is-salma-hayek-husband-francois-henri-pinault-5115564
