Finally! Balmain Enters the Campaign Tunnel…

Much as we loved the sparkly, ’80s, body-con, rocker chick thing Balmain’s been doing for what seems like ages (but is really only a few seasons…overexposure, Monsieur Decarnin, is not always a good thing), we breathed a sigh of serious relief when we saw the brand’s Fall 2009 ad campain, brought to us by none other than the Twitter of Jak & Jil’s Tommy Ton after being “snapped directly from the Balmain boutique.” Sure, Anja Rubik is still sporting those ubiquitous sharp shoulders-but with that perfectly français striped tee and cigarette pants, we’ll find it in our hearts to forgive her.
