With matters of Balenciaga still a mystery, it has since had a Streisand Effect on the characters surrounding it. Were the same characters behind the scandal, also behind Vetements?

I'd like to thank my collaborators

This is bombshell exploration of Vetements, once started by Demna Gvasalia--the torch since passed to his brother, Guram Gvasalia once Demna left for Balenciaga

A quick gander at some (but not all) of their merch.

A Collaboration

This one is with Rough Simmons... So the black rectangle is a magnet that unveils ... a dingaling

Vetements had another project brewing. It was held as a "secret" up until its launch.

So. A lot to digest here, but the Gvasalia brothers also created the "Gvasalia Family Foundation" which is described to be dedicated to emerging young talent aimed to compete with the "traditional" industry.

VTMNTS was unveiled in 2021

So with what we saw with the Balenciaga fiasco, the questionable responses by the responsible(?) parties, which to this day remains a mystery... I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say... the future looks abhorrent if brands like this influence "young talent".

Let's get into this "Vetements/VTMNTS Unscensored. So the... eh.. we'll just call them "fashion collective".. opened up this mysterious account called vetements_uncensored. I believe it has always been private.

Vetements advertised tis account on their main instagram page, accepting followers, and even calling for their followers to tag them in photos to get featured.

And these were some of the selected submissions.

An article covering this controversial instagram account.

Ah. Enters Lotta Volkova "Vetements led by Demna Gvasalia supported by the vision of stylist Lotta Volkova..."

You don't say?

If you need a refresher on Lotta Volkova, see my friend's amazing thread @curioslight:

So Vetements →VTMNTS. VTMNTS came out with a book called "VTMNTS Uncensored"

A buncha dudes in jock straps with their peter's saying hi to the world. I mean I don't have to post all those images, you can do a search on your own.

So this post caught my attention. A shoutout to a guy named Slava Mogutin I censored the crack for you... you're welcome

And hey, man, his posts are 𝙣𝙤𝙩 my jam, but who am I? Gvasalia Bros/Vetements/VTMNTS collaborated with this guy as the author.... ok they are all adults, I get it.. but Balenciaga just paints much more sinister knowing what their entourage is into 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Then we go into his stories, and ...

"Queer Communion"?! Blood letting?

Listen. Grown adults with reprobate minds, and going to do some wild stuff.... but you're trying to tell me that Demna was in shock and awh that such things happened on his Balenciaga shoot?

Oh wait I forgot, he says he's never on shoots. That solves it all, I have no questions whatsoever after all this. Just a crazy, coincidental, cataclysmic accident. Oops.

Kering/Balenciaga recently announced their partnership with National Children's Alliance to attempt remediation.

I wonder what the National Children's Alliance thinks about all this?

Let it be known that when Kering announced this partnership, #Vogue released a piece covering Demna MONTHS after the scandal unfolded
