Balenciaga filed a lawsuit last Friday in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, alleging that production company North Six and set designer Nicholas Des Jardins used documents related to a child pornography case in photos for the campaign without permission.
As a result, the public and the media "have falsely and horrifically associated Balenciaga with the repulsive and deeply disturbing subject", the fashion house said in the court documents.
It has also been facing backlash over another campaign which featured children clutching teddy bears clad in bondage gear.
Balenciaga withdrew the images following an uproar on social media and on Monday deleted all posts on its Instagram account.
