An ad campaign from Kering-owned Gucci is facing backlash just weeks after a similar controversy over Balenciaga ads featuring children.

In addition to the ad campaign featuring children posing with the brand’s teddy bear handbags, Balenciaga also released an ad that included Supreme Court documents pertaining to child pornography. “A performance piece starring Harry Styles and the Gucci HA HA HA collection. “What in the Balenciaga is going on here? Styles has been the face of Gucci for several years. Others noted that both Gucci and Balenciaga are both owned by French luxury owner The Kering Group. What is the angle? Arising from the friendship between him and creative director Alessandro Michele, play is at the very heart of the collection, which uses menswear as a tool of the avant-garde. “My concerns are that there seems to be a common ideology across Kering’s Fashion Houses.” They didn’t need to use these props and childlike images to achieve this feel. Others showed Styles carrying the bed under his arm.

Gucci and Harry Styles are facing criticism for a recent campaign and its props that are being likened to a kids' mattress.

What is the angle? “Why is a toddler bed in this? Last week, the brand continued to post photos of Styles on Instagram promoting Gucci’s HA HA HA campaign.

Harry Styles and Gucci are now under fire for one particular picture that features the singer posing with a baby's mattress, wearing a teddy bear shirt.

Sure enough, this is seen in the pictures and video for the campaign. "Sick fvcks. One particular picture from the campaign caught people's attention. Aside from the baby's mattress, there are many references to children with the use of stuffed animals and the like. Ironically, the theme of the campaign revolves around "eccentric men" from the 70s, with the use of "romantic accents, whimsical prints, vintage details, and the expressive emotionality of the individual," as per the Styles partnered with Gucci earlier this year to release his first-ever Gucci collection called HA HA HA, and the launch saw several pictures of the singer dressed in various fits from the collection in early November.
