I think the bigger question here is how the hell this is supposed to convince people to spend $750 on a t-shirt.

You don't have to convince someone ready to spend $750 on a t-shirt. You just have to give them the opportunity to do it.

While I do wish for something horrible to happen to smug face Styles we have to remember that he was a victim of grooming and is likely a bit headfucked from that.

What's wrong with Harry?

He's a dull spicy straight whose entire musical career is him wearing his influences on his sleeves and not even having the good grace to expand on them. At least Ed Sheeran tries to build on the 90's R&B he's a fan of. Every Harry Styles song is basically "Oh, this is him trying to be Joni Mitchell" "Oh, this is him trying to be Bowie".

Styles had sex with less underage women than Bowie though afaik.

Why is it so difficult to stay away from kids?

good question

Donno, seems like they're reaching a bit on this one. This is just about a picture of a guy carrying a child-size mattress?

Gucci and Harry Styles have been slammed for an ad campaign in which Styles poses in a teddy-bear t-shirt next to a toddler bed, just a few weeks after its sister brand Balenciaga was embroiled in a child imagery scandal.

Styles appears in the new 'HA HA HA' Gucci campaign in an array of outfits and with different props. The images were released on November 2, several weeks before the Balenciaga scandal erupted.

One shows Styles standing in front of a toddler mattress leaning against a wall, and in others he is seen caressing and carrying it. In others and in an accompanying video, he is seen dressing and undressing.

The campaign was conceptualized by former Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, who has since left the brand. Christopher Simmonds was in charge of art direction and Mark Borthwick was the photographer.

In the wake of the Balenciaga scandal - which saw the brand using children to advertise bondage-themed bears and child porn legal documents as props - the images have caused fresh controversy.

How does the other scandal not make you rethink this?

Like you've seen it got a bad press, why would you go "yeah let's release it, i'm sure WE won't get the bad press for it"

I like to think it's sometimes a case of them attempting to be edgy and just being hopelessly naive as to how it might be taken. Or the hopelessly naive being exploited by actual paedos.

Possibly true but the fashion industry has always been disgusting for exploiting kids and people in general. People in that industry live in a weird bubble. Zoolander seems like a ridiculous parody but it's also based on a reality which is probably far worse than the comedy they portray.

Paedophilia vibes AND horrible clothes.

Both of which deserve a trip through Madame Chippeur du Bois.

Both of which deserve a trip through Madame Chippeur du Bois.

And feet first.

"Why is a toddle bed in this ? Why the teddy bear shirt ? What is the angle ? Aside from strange ?" a woman wonders.

Robbing the cradle I guess.

Styles is lame af though. I'd have thunk the guys doing the campaign, being artists, would have taste instead of associating their product with manufactured celebrity.
