Cara Delevingne and Olivier Rousteing, who is Balmain's creative director, are the faces of a new campaign. This is not a first-time occurrence as the couple stared in an iconic photo recreation for the fashion label earlier this year.
The photography assets of the campaign boast a black-and-white aesthetic that exudes elegance and sensuality. This effortlessly fits in the branding ethos of the luxury label. Cara Delevingne and Olivier Rousteing are depicted naked and hugging, with a sizable Balmain bag covering their bodies. Despite the fact that there are many additional images, including solo shots of the well-regarded supermodel with Balmain handbags, this one is highlighted, taking the center stage.
Additional assets include a commercial that sees the couple in various places in Paris.
