Yeah, if it was just about the bears it would have died down in a couple of days.

The fact they are linked to the Kanye stuff means people are going through all their stuff with a fine tooth comb. I'm sure quite a lot of fashion houses have similar hidden stuff. They know the type of people they are marketing their products to and so act accordingly.

I'm a bit dubious about the average consumer being aware of all the "easter eggs". I think it is more for investors and industry insiders. At this point I suspect literally everyone in the fashion industry is a pedo. But I don't think people buy the clothes for that reason.

My point is, do you know who the average customer of Balenciaga's clothes and other shit are?

It's not people like you and me.

They actively want to distance themselves from you and me in any way they possibly can.

That's why this kind of beyond the pale stuff makes money.

Yeah, that kinda makes sense. I can see how people who have everything start to look for more by pushing the envelope of derangement and taboo.
