Balenciaga S/S 2012: Juliane, Kirstin, Laura & Rosie by Steven Meisel - Page 4

Fiercification · 16-12-2011

This is terrible...I can see what they were going for, and it might have worked with a bunch of top models or even a decent bunch of new girls. Can you imagine Nyasha, Kaitlin and Liu in this campaign? I mean these are girls with bite. The models selected won't even reach 15 minutes of fame trust me...

Conceptually its very unoriginal and quite frankly I'd like to see a Balenciaga campaign that isn't shot in a studio (the church last season was good but...) I would have liked to of seen those print shirts set off against palm trees and sunshine, but I suppose that's too commercial for the brand.

Looking completely out of it is attractive? Since when? Horrible idea on so many levels, extremely disappointed that they sunk to this.

mackos · 16-12-2011

I suppose I am the only one here who actually loves it.

Looks really fresh, clean and everything works perfectly together for me. Plus it's not very Meisel for Balenciaga, which is definitely a bonus in liking it.

mikel · 16-12-2011

^ I love it too!

kuli_trendy · 16-12-2011

it's horrible eventho' it's fresh, but it's so not commercial and forgetable...maybe next pics proof me wrong..

vladimiryeo · 16-12-2011

Seriously?

yvesmanoel · 16-12-2011

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. but maybe people just expected overly glamourized pictures demonstrative of luxury and power. this is odd in a beautiful way. maybe meisel took a bit of inspiration from those helmut lang campaigns with backstage pictures by juergen teller. we are entering a new paradigm in fashion, and i'm so glad balenciaga isn't afraid of it!

MyNameIs · 16-12-2011

I just love how delusional fashion people can be sometimes. This is so ridiculously ugly and pretentious.

SugarMe · 16-12-2011

Meisel for Balenciaga just leaves me perplexed, for the most part. I don't see this as "fresh" or "clean" as it's been described here, quite the opposite. I can't even really see its appeal in a subversive way. The hair, the expression, the model, even the clothes... all I see is a big mess.

jmrmartinho · 16-12-2011

I actualy loved last season...but ugly again!
Its so pretentious and dumb (in a way).Its too Gisele, too grounge, too not the colection

Marc10 · 16-12-2011

I kinda like the concept, maybe the other photos are better.

KatherineCouture · 16-12-2011

OMG! Is it campaign? It's catastrophe!

Northern Star · 16-12-2011

Seriously......is that it? They must be joking.
I think someone mentioned 'concept' .......what exactly would that be?
I just don't get this, and I think that even if it was all explained to me, very slowly....I still wouldn't get it. Just awful.

Starry · 16-12-2011

Now I wish Balenciaga would switch its ad photographer back to David Sims or even Ines & Vinoodh. This is really bad.

I'm wondering why Balenciaga stopped working with David Sims. Is there an issue with Sims and Sauve? I'm just guessing but I do really hope they can change the photographer next season!
