Eventually it might exit of fashion.
Harry Styles and Gucci face a backlash consequently of the ‘As It Was’ singer’s HA HA HA Gucci ad campaign t-shirt and photos.
within the photos posted on the style house’s Instagram In line with last week’s report, the 28-year-old, who has been working with Gucci for years, is holding and standing in front of what appears to be a baby mattress while modeling a shirt with an angry-looking pink teddy bear on it.
“I need more berries and that summer feeling,” the T-shirt reads, borrowing lyrics from the 2019 Grammy-winning song “Watermelon Sugar”.
The Gucci photos come just weeks after Balenciaga’s recent controversial campaign through which children were photographed with BDSM-themed teddy bears. One other photo contained documents from a Supreme Court case that upheld a portion of the federal child pornography law lying under the purse.

Balenciaga faced a storm of criticism for its earlier controversial promoting campaign, and the photographer who took the photos, Gabriele Galimberti, feared for his life as death threats began to pour in. Earlier this month, Balenciaga’s creative director Demna addressed a BDSM promoting scandal that has been ignited online with allegations of normalization of sexual fetishization and child abuse.
“I need to personally apologize for the poor artistic selection of the concept of the campaign with gifts for children and I take responsibility,” the 41-year-old wrote. “It was inappropriate for children to advertise items that had nothing to do with them.
“While I would really like to impress thought with my work at times, I’d NEVER intend to achieve this on such a terrible subject as child abuse, which I condemn. Period, continued Demna. “I want to learn from it, take heed to it and work with child protection organizations to understand how I can contribute and help with this terrible cause.”
The style house withdrew the ads, apologized and announced an internal and external investigation. He also filed a $25 million lawsuit against the ad’s producers, which was later dropped.
