Balenciaga was dragged across the internet when the fashion brand released a campaign featuring young girls holding teddy bears wearing bondage gear and standing on top of court papers from a landmark Supreme Court case that focused on child pornography. The brand apologized for the images and pulled the campaign from the internet, but there are many more disturbing revelations of the brand and its long history with content that features child sex abuse and pedophilia. There is even more information coming out showing how depraved Balenciaga's roots are. It's parent company, Kering, is run by a man named François-Henri Pinault, who is married to Salma Hayek, and he owns an auction website that sells disgusting "art" of young children in sexual situations.

It was revealed that Balenciaga is associated with various people who seem to have an obsession with art that depicts pedophilia and even cannibalism. Balenciaga stylist Lotta Volkova has posted many photos on her Instagram of children in distressing, sexual, or even violent situations and she's close friends with Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia, who once told Vice that he and Lotta "grew up on child pornography."

The plot only thickens when you look at Balenciaga's parent company, Kering, which also owns Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, and more. Kering's CEO is billionaire François-Henri Pinault, who owns the famous Christie's auction house. The website features many different types of art, including a series of art pieces by brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman. This series includes child sex mannequins that are extremely disturbing.

One piece of art, which costs $140,000, is called F*ck Face.
