Gabriele Galimberti says he had no input into objects used in images and brand’s delay in apologising led to further abuse
Gabriele Galimberti, the photographer who took pictures of children carrying teddy bears wearing S&M outfits for Balenciaga’s recent ad campaign, says he has received death threats in the aftermath of the scandal.
Speaking to the Guardian, he said: “I get messages like ‘we know where you live.’ ‘We are coming to kill you and your family.’ ‘We are going to burn your house.’ ‘You have to kill yourself, fucking paedophile.’ ” Hesaid 90% of the messages were from people in the US.
