But fast-forward two years and it looks as though the reality TV star has decided to resume her association with the label - but drew attention at the brand's latest showcase for all the wrong reasons.
The 43-year-old mother-of-four posed for pictures at the Spanish label's fashion week show this weekend in a form-fitted backless lace dress but accentuated her famous curves. However Kim, appeared to have forgotte to remove the huge price tag which swung freely behind her as she lent back to pose for snaps.

Her association with the controversial brand comes after the fashion label caused a huge stir in 2022 following an advertising campaign that featured children posing with teddy bears that were wearing bondage gear.
At the time, a host of people across the world called for celebrities to boycott the brand over fears it was happy to exploit children. And on the back of the uproar, Kim was forced to release a statement. She said that she had waited to provide an opinion on the advertising campaign was "not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened."

I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again."
She continued: "I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children."
