Beauty | Kristen Stewart for Balenciaga Fragrance
Just finished reading the press release announcing that Balenciaga’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière has chosen Kristen Stewart to be the face of the house’s fragrance.
What’s his justification for such a lude act?!
Kristen Stewart embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence. From her early appearance in ‘Panic Room’ to her independent choice of ‘Welcome to the Rileys,’ I’ve always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.
Sensibility and intelligence? What, have you not heard her in conversation, or lack of conversation?! |The blank slate (and I don’t mean that face) that is her personality is void of anything! This is suppose to add validity to your brand? Or fragrance? So disappointing, the brand is perfect, the fragrance spectacular but this choice - a failure. Sorry. I’m still in disbelief!
I would love to hear your comments and remarks to this! What do you think?

Ad Campaign | Balenciaga A/W 11/12
Steven Meisel captures, Milou Van Groesen, Julia Nobis, Liya Kebede, Juliane Gruner, Carla Gebhart and Liisa Winkler for Balenciaga’s latest Fall 2011 ad campaign and I’m not sure how I feel about it. But, that’s only because I was never fond of the collection that was sent down the runway for Fall 2011!
Nicolas Ghesquière’s futuristic designs combined with elegant tailoring is unparalled, I get it - it takes a lot of talent, but I still don’t like the collection!

In Case You Missed It | Gisele Bündchen for Balenciaga S/S 2011
Gisele Bündchen is everywhere! I’m sure this won’t be the last we’ll see of her pretty little face too! Being shot again by über-photographer, Steven Meisel, ads go on rotation next month.
Bündchen is the face for Balenciaga’s S/S 2011 ad campaign and I know a lot of you won’t agree that she looks good, nor understand what she’s wearing. Balenciaga is the epitome of what fashion is to me and conceptually may not be understood by all but, stylistically it’s brilliant! That and she’s also wearing the limited-edition watch Balenciaga released a short while ago, which retails for $1375-$1445 USD.
What’s your honest opinion of Bündchen’s look for the campaign?
