At Balenciaga HQ, Demna is there to stay. After all, the Georgian designer (who succeed Alexander Wang as Balenciaga creative director in 2015) renewed his contract with the Kering-owned fashion house back in October. The Paris-based luxury label continues to roll out advertising campaigns thick and fast. The latest, entitled “This is a Balenciaga campaign” sees Demna secure Juergen Teller as campaign photographer. Out are the likes of Mario Sorrenti and Nadav Kander, in favor of the revered German lensman. Teller points his lens toward Kim Ye-Ji, Kim Petras, Romeo Beckham, Sua, Khadim, and Akolde Meen, each making for an ensemble cast. Demna’s chosen subjects pose on location in Paris, captured around various different locations within the French capital.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“I have no words,” expressed matheus_s upon first look at the campaign.
“This brand is SO dead,” Kite chimed in.
“The flea market vibes, and the discarded furniture suits the current Balenciaga very well. They have already been selling pre-discarded clothes for a while now,” noted yslforever.
“‘This is a Balenciaga campaign’! Do you guys get it? They’re trying to be ironic. Ugh, they’re so self-aware you guys,” voiced forum member GoldenPetals.
Also not exactly best impressed was Deleted Member 170196. “What are these clothes? Who are they for? Who is buying these from Balenciaga? They don’t even try anymore. It’s literally jeans, a hoodie, and a polo shirt. Nothing more. It’s just stuff,” they complained.
