The clip added a touch of humor to the luxurious showcase, revealing the reality behind maintaining such an extensive collection. Despite the glamour and extravagance, Kim Kardashian has not been immune to criticism over her association with Balenciaga. Some critics argue that her role as an ambassador for a high-end fashion brand is out of touch with the current social and economic climate. However, Kim's Instagram post suggests that she remains unapologetically committed to her love for luxury fashion. This bold move by Balenciaga to enlist Kim Kardashian as their ambassador has undoubtedly sparked conversations.

Moreover, the mom of four was slammed by fans for accepting the role with Balenciaga. This came after the fashion house featured young children holding teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear for their November 2022 ad campaign. “The same brand that sexualized children, we just supposed to forget about that?” one person tweeted Monday. “Never forget what they did, why are children being photographed while bdsm gear is strung along the floor?” another wrote. “Kim will support anything and do anything for money. Even a brand ambassador for pedophilia,” a third added. At the time of Balenciaga’s 2022 scandal, Kardashian condemned the “disturbing” campaign and said that she was “shaken.” What are your thoughts? Let us know on HNHH!
