Rihanna’s brand to pay over million dollars for misleading customers

Singer Rihanna-founded lingerie brand Savage x Fenty has agreed to pay $1.2 million in a consumer protection lawsuit settlement for misleading customers, WWD reported.

The lawsuits were filed in August 2022 in the state of California. According to court documents, the company withheld data and failed to inform customers about the regular fee charged to VIP club card holders. Meanwhile customers who later canceled their memberships were not refunded.

The owners of VIP club cards were not informed that they would be charged the regular membership fee, in addition the charges would be automatic. According to the law, such data must be clearly spelled out.

The brand cooperated with the investigation, as well as made appropriate changes to its website. In addition, the company has agreed to pay an administrative fine of one million dollars, as well as pay court costs (50 thousand dollars). Another 150 thousand dollars will be transferred as compensation to VIP clients from California. – Source

Who is Gabriele Galimberti? Balenciaga photographer under fire as Toy Stories campaign comes under scrutiny

Luxury fashion house Balenciaga has been in the limelight recently due to its poorly executed Spring 2023 ad campaign that showcased young children posing with their plush teddy bear bags that appeared to be wearing bondage-inspired outfits.

The luxury label sued production company North Six Inc. and set designer Nicholas Des Jardins, the third-party entity responsible for the campaign, for $25 million on November 25, 2022.

The Italian photographer who shot the campaign, Gabriele Galimberti, has also faced significant backlash for proceeding with the shoot despite its disturbing themes. He took to social media to release a statement, absolving himself of the blame.

Gabriele Galimberti was born in 1977 in Val di Chiana, Tuscany. The 45-year-old Italian photographer has been working on long-term documentary-style photo projects such as Toy Stories, In Her Kitchen, My Couch Is Your Couch, and The Heavens. These projects have been turned into books as well.

With the Balenciaga controversy still in effect, people are taking a closer look at Galimberti. People have found eerie similarities between the Balenciaga ad shoot and his photo series titled Toy Stories, wherein he photographed children from over 50 countries with their toy collections. – Source
