The embattled fashion house dropped the multi-million-dollar lawsuit on Friday after originally filing the suit one week earlier against the production outfit North Six and set designer Nicholas Des Jardins. …

According to a lengthy social media statement posted to Instagram on Friday, Balenciaga’s president and CEO, Cédric Charbit, revealed the fashion company is “taking the following actions with the objective to learn from [their] mistakes as an organization.”

Those actions include: deciding “not to pursue litigation” against North Six and Des Jardin, reorganize their “image department to ensure full alignment with out corporate guidance” and start “training on responsible communications across [their] teams.”

[Sounds like their buck-passing wasn’t going to hold up in court — precisely as I predicted. Ad producers don’t run multi-million-dollar brand campaigns without approvals from their clients. — Ed]
