definitely have to wait to see more but i do like the direction.

This image in particular though is a little bit too much on the eyes for me. The perspective, the bright orangeness..Anja seems like an accessory to the set and it should be the other way around.

Wow, I actually like it.

 

[purplethistle]

Love it makes me want to get balmain clothes even though I couldn't afford it

 

[timemachinedream]

ooh. I quite like it.

 

[Grunged]

I don't know if I like it or not. Where is she supposed to be?

 

[MulletProof]

woman coming out of the subway in the middle of the night. very cliché. je n'aime pas.

Shot by I&V and styled by E. Alt, maybe?
One boring Balmain campaign as always , and it looks even pointless this time.
I hate when a campaign turns out to be boring with such gorgeous clothes.
But in spite of this Anja looks great. Love her.

 

[mikeijames]

i die. this is perfection.

Not bad, the orange overload is much to look at, but Anja looks fab and I like the whole urbanesque-subway feel. Must see more!

if you're right about this, the I&V notion that is, i can pretty much image what the rest will look like. But for some reason, i don't think this was shot by I&V.

^ The reason I dislike it is not just I&V. I was just guessing, saying, and blaming the picture itself.

 

[testinofan]

really great amazing location

 

[MON]

OMG! I love! I love! Can't wait to see this in print!
I love what she's wearing, I love the styling, I love the light effects

Really nice, but I would like to see it with the brand logo and all - like a complete ad image before coming up with a judgment. Amazing look though.

Very THX 1138.

I like it, even if the background is a bit too orange.

 

[songbirdsel]

much love.. simple concept but works well

I'm quite sure it's by I&V, anyway I do agree about the distracting orange background, it overwhelms the picture.

I'm quite the opposite actually
