00:00Balenciaga issued an apology for a controversial campaign that posed children with teddy bears
00:05dressed in bondage and BDSM gear. The bear handbags were displayed wearing fishnet tops,
00:10collars with locks and restraints, and leather chest harnesses. The children's photos weren't
00:15the only part of the campaign that sparked backlash. In one image, a Balenciaga handbag
00:19is featured atop a scattering of documents. One of the papers appears to be from the 2008 Supreme
00:24Court case United States v. Williams, which involved a man who offered to exchange child
00:29sexual abuse materials online with other users. Balenciaga issued an apology on Instagram for
00:35both the BDSM campaign images and inclusion of the controversial court document.
