Balenciaga designer Lotta Volkova and her Instagram have been the talk of the town lately.
Balenciaga is facing backlash for its holiday campaign after it released images of children carrying teddy bear bags outfitted in bondage gear. An immediate elimination of the campaign from all platforms followed and their apology.
This event caused a damage of 25 million dollars to the brand.
But now the attention is precisely on one of Balenciaga's famous designers, for whom critics on the net have shown some disturbing images of her work.
Russian-born Lotta Volkova moved to London at the age of 17 to study at world-renowned fashion institution Central Saint Martins.
Described by Vogue as a "super designer", Lotta began her collaboration with Balenciaga in 2014, being described as one of the most important designers.
