Bears repeating!
Also, let’s stick closely to topic, it really helps preventing tangents and drama.

What do y'all think about the Balenciaga SS23 & Adidas collab "teddy" controversy?

The auction house in question is Christie's. It's not as if these questionable artworks are the only type of art they're selling.
If one digs deep enough one can always find "something" to support one's opinion.
The silence of the fashion universe is deafening.
There goes my first Gucci purchase. Was trying to branch out from LV.Right. They need to balance the portfolio and keep the companies in shape and afloat. I am out. No more bags from Kering brands for me. The company doesn't align with my values. And in the future, I need to do my own homework by researching companies and not just fall for design. But this is me. I am not preaching to anyone. People do whatever they want with their money.
Off the top of my head-
Teddy bears - innocence
White rabbit(there's one in EVERY pic) - purity
He mentioned the crow on the wall, some drawings here, I do not remember what he said about those. I have to make another post about what else he said because I'm having problems uploading the pictures.
In the first picture he immediately noticed the placement of the child and the placement of the straw.
There are wine glasses there and again the bondage bear.
In every picture the children are wearing adult sized sneakers.
In the second picture the child is now lying down, he thought that could be suggesting that she was given alcohol.
The couch she is lying on looks like an alter. There is a "heart within a heart" chair on the left, I don't know if I should say what that means but you can Google it.
There appears to be a tea party set up. I have heard from 2 women that this is how they were lured to someone's (both offenders were relatives of each woman) home.
Oh and of course the bondage bears.

There are other pictures but you get the idea. These observations are immediately apparent, there is nothing there I can find that suggests happiness, cool sneakers, do I want those sunglasses, etc. It looks like the child is the product. It's just really strange, I don't think any parent would give their child that bear or set up a room for a play date like that.
Then there are the two photos that were released days later-they knew what those court documents referenced and what was in the Michaël Borremans' book, which is also on the desk. Don't Google those pictures if you value your sanity.

Accepting Balenciaga bags donations here, thanks y’all.
Nobody is going to stop using their bags, due to this, just to give them to someone else who would then use them instead.
How would that send a message to anyone?
@880 I tried messaging you privately (to keep on topic) but was unable, so this will be short. Regarding the departure from topic many posts ago, I realize that I had joined the thread after the issue referenced and didn't appreciate the full presentation by the time the remark that I did see, was posted. I now understand. If there is more to learn in terms of product placement as it relates to the campaign, that is also under this umbrella topic, please let me know. In reading back, it appears your comment was more related to a post and not B. campaign. Thanks for way you handled the matter. I came away positive and wanting to understand.
Thank you for your kind compliment. @Shelby33 above has shared eye opening, super informative posts re product placement as it relates to the campaign. She articulated an issue I had with the campaign that the child deliberately appears to be the product.
ETA: when I googled heart within a heart chair I got this

@LuxePup , thanks for the moment of levity

Just like you're doing? LOL
By the way, Christie's is owned by Groupe Artémis, François-Henri Pinault's holding company.
I am aware of some of these posts that point more to the topic at hand - product placement, the children as the product, etc . When referenced in my post to you, product placement, I was referring to the off topic issue in the event I missed anything. Thanks.Thank you for your kind compliment. @Shelby33 above has shared eye opening, super informative posts re product placement as it relates to the campaign.

Nah, I think you will probably feel more useful to the brand and an activist if you buy the bags yourself. It will make you feel really good to get your hard-earned money and support the brand. You wouldn't want donations. It doesn't make sense if you love the brand so much! Fight for them. Buy their products with your own money! Be pro-active. Fight for them.
These are just things he quickly recognized because of his line of work. I think some people are very uncomfortable with the pictures, they know something is off but it's not easy to articulate.Thank you for your kind compliment. @Shelby33 above has shared eye opening, super informative posts re product placement as it relates to the campaign.

I have found the declassified FBI symbols/meanings on slideshare but I think I should ask a moderator first?
@880 this is what I found on that one....Thank you for your kind compliment. @Shelby33 above has shared eye opening, super informative posts re product placement as it relates to the campaign. She articulated an issue I had with the campaign that the child deliberately appears to be the product.
