Balenciaga, there are people that are dying…
The fashion house launched Kim Kardashian-printed T-shirts for a cool $825 Friday as part of its fall 2025 Brand Ambassador Fanclub Series.
The black oversized shirts feature three famous images of Kardashian, 44, donning Balenciaga ensembles alongside her name.
According to the website, the garment — which is made in Portugal — is dry jersey and features a crewneck, short sleeves (the left of which is embroidered with the company logo) and the billionaire beauty mogul’s signature printed on the back.
Kardashian posted an Instagram selfie of her rocking the top, which garnered tons of praise.
“😍,” hotel heiress Paris Hilton commented.
“I want one,” both hairstylist Chris Appleton and cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Simon Ourian remarked.
“Need one asap ❤️,” Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, echoed.
Others were fixated on the reality star’s beauty, writing things like, “the face card is truly perfect” and “Very pretty, Kim.”
A few, however, were disappointed that she is “still promoting this pedo brand.”
Kardashian has long been a fan of Balenciaga, as she’s attended numerous runway shows and starred in several campaigns in the past.
However, in November 2022, she took a step back from her relationship with the label after it released a pair of controversial ads — one featuring children holding teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear, and another that included United States Supreme Court documents regarding child pornography laws.
“I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” the Skims co-founder said in a statement at the time.
“As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images. The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.”
An hour later, she added, “As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.”
Though Balenciaga apologized several times after the scandal made headlines — calling the offending ads “inappropriate” and the “wrong artistic choice” — Kardashian took a several-month break from wearing the brand and even reportedly turned down a campaign offer.
By April 2023, however, she was back to sporting the label and then became a brand ambassador the following January.
