ugly and boring pleasee back sims

 

[XavierRaphael]

Oh god, this was SO worth the wait!

 

[Street_a_Licious]

this screws the S/S ones sideways

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Well, considering the last attempt with Jennifer at the helm...this is amazing in comparison Glad Christopher could finally incorporate his muse in a better way this time...Jennifer looks stunning as usual!

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Um, shouldn't she lay a little deeper than that?
It seems like she's sliding from the couch.

so true..

This campaign doesn't really do anything for me, and its not that I don't like Jennifer Connely, her last Balenciaga campaign I found stunning, she was able to make the clothes work. This is just boring to me.

 

[Thanatos]

I wish they would have used someone other than Jennifer, it's not as is she is particularly beautiful or talented or interesting or relevant, imo anyway. I don't like her expression in that shot and I agree with whoever said Steven hasn't done the detailed prints justice.

 

[t-rex]

Wasn't there a rumor of several actresses being used in this campaign?

the model and the clothes look good though the concept it too normal

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I despise this, so bland and insipid, classic Meisel going to the concept he did billion of times since he ran out of ideas.It does nothing for the clothes. And Jennifer is much more beautiful than that, but its better than her last B campaign.

Looks like Topshop or Zara ed.

Exactly what I thought!
I didn't like it. I was expecting something far more gorgeous than this.
It doesn't feel like a Balenciaga ad.

 

[xerq]

Jennifer C isn't really relevant and Model-esque. this fails on all levels, just hire a professional model already!someone that actually does the clothes justice.this ad looks like that LV advert with Madonna.tacky and unnecessary.

 

[thiago:)]

Hmm typical Meisel style... I would expect to see a picture like this in Vogue US, Vanity Fair or even Vogue Italia. The mood/location remind me of Kate Winslet's editorial for Vanity Fair, which was also shot by him.
I didn't like the shoes on the runway and they didn't convince me in this ad either.
However, I must say she looks very good.
I won't even say bring back Sims, cause I want I&V back

The pose is way too p*rn*gr*ph*c for a brand like Balenciaga,she's acting like Madonna for the Louis Vuitton SS09 campaign
And I'm probably nr1 big Balenciaga haters so I just say NO

Don't know what kind of p*rno you watch, but I don't see anything p*rn*gr*ph*c in this shot.

I love it. Love the composition, the setting and how Jennifer looks. Meisel did a great job. Not what I expected but it's stunning!

 

[avantgarde]

love ittttttt

So true. The colours are classy, the clothes are stunning and Jennifer... She's rather an icequeen but i like her so much

 

[LolaSvelt]

That's funny, I was just recently looking at Jennifer's other Balenciaga ads from a few years back. I really like this one.

 

[MulletProof]

Glad Christopher could finally incorporate his muse in a better way this time

not from you, faith, not from you..

 

[StoneSkipper]

Is anyone else secretly hoping that they put Elsa in those shots and surprise us?

I mean, c'mon, Elsa was born to be a Balenciaga girl.

 

[irulan]

God, I honestly don't know what to do anymore with that Steven Meisel. Can't he just go away? He ruins campaign after campaign, god no, I hate that Meisel style, it's so unchic. It's girl on sofa, hell, you pay him so much money for that? He's lost it time ago. What was wrong with last season? It was awesome. Why get him?

That being said, I love the outfit. It's really tempting, I wanna buy it.

 

[user.n.]

People are bored the campaign of Testino (the latest Burberry), I&V (the latest Gucci) and now Meisel. I know it's based on the matter of taste but...
