The latest Balenciaga Men's Campaign is shot by Josh Olins and stars soulful singer Sam Smith. Just like the colder seasons, this campaign is a little dark, moody and dramatic.
The entire campaign is edited in a black and white style courtesy of London-based fashion photographer Josh Olins. The F/W Balenciaga Men's Campaign showcases a somber Sam Smith brilliantly dressed while sitting, standing and breaking a huge chunk of ice. The 'Stay With Me' singer beautifully portrays the sensitive yet powerful Balenciaga man as he poses in the dark room with curved concrete walls.
Though the Balenciaga F/W '15 Menswear Collection has not yet been released, fashion fans can expect to see all the sleek and smart looks Smith adorns in this campaign.
