Balmain F/W 12.13 : Clément Chabernaud & Nadja Bender by David Sims

I 'm glad they stepped away from there previous campaigns but I find it utterly boring and just as bad in a different way.

Agreed.

Glad Anja is gone though

I like the light and the melancholic feel it has, but but at the same time it doesn't feel right for Balmain somehow, it looks like it could be in an editorial in AnOther Magazine or something, but it really doesn't portray the "rock" vibe Balmain usually has

Oh, Clement <3, I love his facial expressions but....it doesn't seem to make sense why he's doing them in here...

I like this a lot. It kinda soften the edge a little. And doesn't seems trashy. In a way, I think the Isabel Marant girl will like this!

Maybe he asked someone how much the clothes he's modelling cost and this was his reaction, fortunately caught on camera...

nadja is definitely a wrong choice for balmain. meghan collison would rock this campaign.

I actually like this campaign! David clearly wanted to focus on the details of the clothes rather than an elaborate set! Color would have been nice, but i guess he wanted to go for a edgy direction? & it's clear that they favor Clement since he's been working for them for so long! plus Nadja was an exclusive for the show so it was kind of obvious that she was going to possibly get the campaign!!

What a sad, moody campaign! Balmain is about sex & rock n roll, not sadly staring at the floor tiles in your bathroom.

David Sims has been quite boring lately.

This was my favorite Balmain ad in a while. Sure it looks like "Balmain gone melancholy", but that feeling and the fact that it's shot in B&W is really fitting for a Fall campaign, I think. Besides, what does his/her expression have to do with the clothes (which by they way look awesome) that they are selling?
