Original Note:
Balenciaga is named for their founding designer. They have since pulled the ad campaign in question and sued their ad agency for $25 million. The correct translation of Baal is king is “Baal est rex”. “Enci” and “aga” do not appear in Latin dictionaries. https://www.glossy.co/fashion/the-balenciaga-controversy-explained/amp/ https://latinitium.com/latin-dictionaries/
