Not a single person in the chain that handled the ads...no marketing director, no photographer, no pre press tech, no Jr executive... Not a single one looked at these images and said, "WTF" or even "hey, maybe this isn't the best idea..." Nobody in a boardroom or office bothered to suggest that featuring BDSM themes with children is sure to "cause controversy", "create a public backlash", or most importantly to a company, "harm the bottom line"...?
The best interpretation of this statement is that Balenciaga isn't a bunch of rampant pedophiles, it's just the people they work with and entrust their brand image to are rampant pedophiles injecting pedophilia into their brand.
They didn't know nuffin.
