After a few years picturing the ultra-power-sexy woman, playing it fast & hard, today the Balmain woman is calm, at home, simply sublime, intimately Parisian, wearing the most amazing outfits with an ideal dose of detachment. I just love it.

And i just love how you came up with this idea of “Let’s talk about…”
Balmain is amazing.

Très jolie campagne pour une marque devenue hyper pointue depuis quelques saisons !
I love it too! Amazing clothes and such a cool model.
Jolie campagne :)

I like Balmain and I love this campaign, too. It seems to be a return to the roots. Anyway it’s the quintessence of elegance

Balmain is top of the top for me… and I agree about the simple, unfussy elegance of the ads. Thank you for the post! (I’ve never commented before but want to say thanks also for the daily doses of beauty and for sharing your journey along the way… you’re such an inspiration to me! ?)
Moi aussi j’adore!

J’ai vu cette pub la semaine derniere et j’ai pensé la meme chose! J’adore cette photo et la tranquillité qu’elle dégage :)
Do you know who is the model ? I don’t know her…
Yeah Garance, her name is Nadja Bender Chills :))
love the juxtaposition of the most opulent of tops in the most mundane of settings. gorgeous shot. and the model is nadja bender (http://fashiongonerogue.com/nadja-bender-chills-for-balmain-fall-2012-campaign-by-david-sims/).

GARANCE, THAT IS NADJA BENDER ON THE PICTURES. I LIKE IT A LOT, ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT WE ARE FINALLY GETTING AWAY FROM ALL THOSE OH SO TYPICAL FASHION CAMPAIGN IMAGES.

Pour la première fois cette saison, j’ai compris la sensibilité de Balmain. Je crois que le travail d’Olivier Rousteing est tout simplement sublime. Ce doit être à cause de lui que je suis rendu un balmainiac!
I miss Garance’s voice… But still love coming here everyday.
Balmain is timeless. What a lovely campaign. I just love it! Thanks for sharing this.
All the best,
Anne T.
That’s it! After so many seasons of FIERCE a la Tyra (don’t worry Tyra, we still love you), at last the long-awaited change of pace… SO GLAD you called it like it is.
Anne Helen Peterson at Hairpin was writing about the Garbo look, calling it “equal parts disinterested and orgasmic.” Exactly right–for La Balmaine, too!
(Btw if you haven’t read the article, you should give it a look. She cites Roland Barthes. Fabulously beatifully-written blogger citing Barthes… Enough, I die!)
Pour ma part, je préfère, beaucoup plus en phase avec l’actualité et l’air du temps, non ?
Je suis aussi tombée “en arrêt” devant cette photo, je suis fascinée. Je la trouve reposante. Vous avez vu la texture de ses cheveux ?
Nadia Bender indeed.
Par contre, niveau texture des cheveux, moi j’ai un peu des doutes…
Les autres photos constituant la campagne m’ont fait le même effet.
J’y peux rien, même si j’aime l’atmosphère et que j’adhère au côté, “chuis toute seule chez moi, et alors? Je porte mes fringues si je veux.”, les cheveux “sales” j’ai du mal. Mais ça doit refléter une réalité.
ça change du sublime glam’ et c’est frais.
ça ne titille que moi?

L’éclairage fait très années 30… la coiffure aussi. Je ne sais trop que pense d’une femme si sereine!

Hello,
I have to admit I don’t like Balmain all that much (too obviously sexy, for my taste), but I LOVE this ad: the hair and the contrast of the ultra glamorous top and the schoolgirl hairdo is great.
I cut away from the magazine when I first saw it.
A
J’aime toujours autant Balmain!
