Balenciaga F/W 2015.16 : Kate Moss & Lara Stone by Steven Klein

Im upset that after such a stand out cast of great black models in the show, he cast the two most white, blonde, famous women in fashion. Its a bit of a cop out I think.

TRU! My thoughts exactly. I love Kate+Lara combo, but I was waiting for black models only, after all...

Heh, exactly... quite a disappointment. Still, the actual images are great! Powerful and commanding.
 
sick of them both, neither of them are anything special anymore. and i still can't stand the logo
 
Excellent campaign! You can never go wrong with a Kate and Lara pairing. The last three shots especially are amazing.
 
Outstanding campaign. Absolutely love it, no complaints.
Gorgeous clothes, great cast, amazing photography. Best so far without a doubt.
 
This feels so luxe and powerful!!!

I'm also disappointed about the lack of models of colour but not at all surprised

I mean, that cast was totally gimmicky. You can already see that with Kate & Lara in the ad no one cares about the beautiful black girls in the show. It was "Wang statement for diversity". Well...

Not a very exciting campaign but i love seeing Kate not being Kate for once and the last shot is great!
 
As much as I feel like I have seen Kate and Laura have done this before, this is fantastic. Quintessential Steven Klein.
 
Meh. I'm more a lot focused on the clothes than usual, so that's a plus, I guess.
 
Don't think I'll ever get bored of Klein's work for Balenciaga. It's just so strong.
 
Nothing special, interesting or unique. Throwing Kate and Laura together in a campaign does not automatically make it amazing, in my book. In fact, this looks very dated to me.
 
Why isn't Lara looking at the camera!! But the kissing shot is just so beautiful!
 
Kate looks like Lara's grandmother in that last one posted.
 
OMG :shock: Finally two REAl supermodel... Two REAL Queens... Thank you Balenciaga

No Socialmedia Supermodels :clap:
 
The shot with them holding hands is quite good. The composition of the other ones is nice also. But, in general, I feel they try too hard with the campaings at Balenciaga... Like they are desperately seeking for something iconic...But in a way they never end up being iconic at all maybe for that reason. It's like almost everything works but there's something missing at the same time. They look too though-out, too over-thinked... Which shouldn't be something to blame them for, but they feel too stilted, too self-conscious... So, so, so hard to explain.
