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.

We stan Harper’s Bazaar France hard here at theFashionSpot. Can you blame us? Under the tutelage of Olivier Lalanne, the editor’s choice of cover subjects has become second to none. Over the past twelve months, Lalanne has welcomed everyone from Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss to Naomi Campbell and Layla Etengan onto the magazine’s front covers. He opts to round out the year by welcoming Laetitia Casta back as a Harper’s Bazaar France cover star. Photographed by Juergen Teller, the French model, actress, and fashion darling is captured at home on French Bazaar‘s double offering for December 2024/January 2025. In the cover photograph, Laetitia gazes down Teller’s lens, dressed by stylist Elodie David-Touboul in a black Christian Dior dress from the Cruise 2025 collection.

“What in the world,” exclaimed matheus_s the moment the cover struck.

“Both of her covers for Harper’s Bazaar France has been dreadful. She looked like a golem on her last one and now this pose. My god… HELP!” added blueorchid.

“Why would anyone look at this dreadful image and think it’s the perfect option for a cover? I just don’t understand how a team of supposed professionals comes up with sh*t like this,” avonlea002 noted.

The Model Gene also was not impressed. “I never want to see another cover by Juergen Teller again. Please make it stop,” they pleaded.

“I can’t believe I like garden furniture more than Laetitia Casta on a magazine cover,” Srdjan laughed.

“Not the garden and garden furniture taking more of the spotlight than Laetitia! Juergen needs to retire. Like, you did your time sweetie; you can go rest now,” voiced jeremydante.

You’re no doubt completely and fully aware that Anthony Vaccarello likes himself some Juergen Teller as Saint Laurent campaign photographer. Vaccarello has called upon the famed German photographer to lens the historic French fashion house’s campaign imagery on umpteen occasions throughout his tenure as creative director. More recently, Teller photographed Chloë Sevigny for the Fall 2024 campaign offering. For the Saint Laurent Winter 2024 installment, Juergen Teller is back to capture a handful of Vaccarello’s muses. Those muses include Kate Moss, Charlotte Rampling, Ajus Samuel, Anja Rubik, Binx Walton, Awar Odhiang, and Penelope Ternes. The ladies pose within the surroundings of a stylish Art Deco Parisian brasserie in looks from Vaccarello’s chic Saint Laurent collection unveiled in February during Paris Fashion Week.

The Winter 2024 Saint Laurent Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“So good! I just can’t get enough of Saint Laurent campaigns,” shared fruitbasedsnack.

“Binx! I would have been fine with just Charlotte Rampling and Kate Moss. I don’t mind the other women though. Good campaign, very Louis Vuitton with Madonna by Meisel in the spirit,” Lola701 noted.

“Charlotte, Kate, Anja and Awar were enough for me. Charlotte is definitely the star,” commented GivenchyAddict.

Also in love with the casting was audace: “Kate, Anja and Charlotte Rampling? This casting is perfect!”

Yet not everyone was impressed. “No soul. Aseptic. Lifeless. Empty. Some pictures are just pretty, but there’s nothing behind them. No warmth, no feelings, no passion, no nothing. I don’t know why that is. There’s no soul at all,” Creative critiqued.

“Depressing, and not in a cool way,” chimed in 90sFan.

The fashion world continues to hold its breath for Chanel to appoint a creative director, following the abrupt departure of Virginie Viard in June. The fabled French fashion house continues to bring a sense of familiarity with its advertising campaigns. The powers that be at Chanel HQ endorse Loli Bahia as the face of the Coco Neige collection for 2024. The Coco Neige line was first introduced in 2018 by the late Karl Lagerfeld, dedicated to winter sports, the snow, and après-ski. Faces of the Coco Neige collection have since included Margot Robbie, Jennie (of Blackpink), and Lily-Rose Depp. Bahia, who already has umpteen Chanel advertising campaigns under her belt, poses for famed German photographer Juergen Teller. The French beauty of Algerian descent who has previously fronted the Pre-Fall 2022, Cruise 2023, Fall 2023, and Pre-Fall 2024 campaign installments, poses within the surroundings of Gabrielle Chanel’s decadent apartment at 31, Rue Cambon in Paris.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“As current Chanel campaigns go, I kinda like the adolescent arrogance of slouching around a room full of expensive antiques and putting your clumpy sports shoes in places where they shouldn’t be,” shared tigerrouge.

“I kind of like it,” confessed helmutnotdead.

“Loli Bahia looks bored, sick, and tired,” critiqued guimon.

“It’s dreadful. I like the beige ensemble but Loli Bahia looks like she just woke up. Sometimes, a white background is just enough,” voiced Lola701.

Also majorly underwhelmed was Ihhbl. “College students could have done better! Awful and uninspiring clothes/model/photos/location,” they complained.

Fresh from Vogue Italia commemorating its 60th anniversary with a series of celebratory Steven Meisel-shot covers, Vogue Germany is marking 45 years of print. Throughout 2024, the title’s Head of Editorial Content Kerstin Weng has welcomed the likes of Peggy Gou, Claudia Schiffer, Adut Akech, Kate Moss, Hunter Schafer, and made history by welcoming 102-year-old Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer onto the cover. Weng adds Sandra Hüller as Vogue Germany cover star to mark the magazine’s 45th anniversary for October 2024. Famed German photographer Juergen Teller was called upon to photograph the German actress, who gazes down Teller’s lens sat perched on some steps. In the cover shot, Hüller is dressed by stylist Poppy Kain wearing a head-to-toe look from Nicolas Ghesquière’s 10-year Louis Vuitton collection for Fall 2024.

The October 2024 Cover of Vogue Germany with Sandra Hüller:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“One word to describe this cover: terrible,” shrieked MModa the moment the cover struck.

“My girl Sandra deserved better, this is foul,” KoV chimed in.

Also in a state of shock was vogue28. “A 45th anniversary issue and we get this glum-looking cover? What on Earth! I’m into a German subject like Sandra Hüller gracing such an issue. The outcome, however, is a disappointment. I dislike Juergen Teller’s work at the best of times. This is one of those times in which I loathe his work,” he voiced.

“The styling is atrocious,” exclaimed Lola701.

“Horrific work as always by Mr. Teller,” shared EDEN21.

“What a waste of an amazing cover subject. Sandra Hüller deserves better,” stated Snejana Onopka.

OK, we admit that System Magazine doesn’t perhaps garner the attention it deserves here on theFashionSpot. However, the London-based biannual publication has our undivided attention with the release of Issue #3 of System Beauty for the Fall 2024 season. Across a whopping 37 covers, casting director Piergiorgio Del Moro casts models of the moment for a series of collectible covers featuring the women who inspire Del Moro most. Those names include everyone from Bella Hadid and Maty Fall to Natasha Poly and Vittoria Ceretti to Gigi Hadid and Angelina Kendall, who each pose for either Carlijn Jacobs or Juergen Teller.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love it! Strong concept and the girls look great!” exclaimed newton91.

“I’m sold. I need the Bella Hadid cover,” Ihhbl enthused.

“Living for it!” raved forum member thiago.

Also quick to praise the latest from System Beauty was helmutnotdead, heralding: “Carlijn Jacobs is the best thing happening in anything related to fashion imagery. Periodtttt!”

“STUNNING!!! Love, love, love Bella Hadid’s two-faced cover. Pure genius,” applauded jeremydante.

“A handful of terrific covers from System here. Obviously some are stronger and more compelling than others. Absolutely love those of Bella Hadid, Imaan Hammam, Angelina Kendall, and Natasha Poly (despite a dislike for Juergen Teller),” vogue28 chimed in.

Juergen Teller remains a firm fave of Anthony Vaccarello. Since 2019, Vaccarello (who became the creative force behind Saint Laurent in 2016) has endorsed the revered German photographer to no end. Campaigns from Teller over the years have featured everyone from new faces like Penelope Ternes to more seasoned models like Freja Beha Erichsen. Teller remains on the books with the unveiling of the Saint Laurent Fall 2024 advertising campaign offering. This time around, the Belgian designer insisted upon Teller pointing his lens toward Chloë Sevigny, who morphs into the ultimate Saint Laurent woman for the occasion. The American actress is captured on location in Paris, decked out in a look from Vaccarello’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection and toting the Sac de Jour handbag.

The Fall 2024 Saint Laurent Campaign with Chloë Sevigny by Juergen Teller:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I never understood the hype about Chloë Sevigny. In fact, I only found out who she was a few years ago. Here in Brazil at least she is a complete unknown. Terrible campaign,” voiced DK92.

“Saint Laurent campaigns are so boring. You either get drab daylight shots by Teller or B&W studio images from Sims and Sorrenti that all look the same,” pointed out avonlea002.

“I love Chloe Sevigny but she is more Vuitton/Loewe/Celine. She maybe has too much personal style for YSL by Vaccarello,” Lola701 noted.

Yet not everyone was so dismayed. “Fully on board with this,” approved lelaid.

“The second shot is much better. I love Chloë!” GivenchyAddict exclaimed.

Make no mistake that Angelina Kendall is a rising star within the world of modeling. Subsequent to bursting onto the fashion scene in early 2023, we’ve witnessed the fresh-faced Brazilian-Kiwi newcomer become the face of Fendi and Tom Ford (for the current Spring 2024 season alone) and grace the covers of Vogue Italia, Vogue Mexico and M Le Magazine du Monde. Christine Centenera at Vogue Australia is the latest to celebrate the Sydney-born beauty, splashing Kendall across not one but three celebratory covers for April 2024. Centenera commissioned Juergen Teller to capture Angelina on location Paris, within the grounds of Australian Embassy to be exact, and is dressed in looks from the Spring 2024 Haute Couture creations of Christian Dior, Fendi and Chanel across the trio of collectable (and highly-questionable) covers.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I do like Angelina, but I’m not sure what on earth about this cover is deemed ‘collectable’ worthy,” voiced marsnoop2.

“Was this shot on an iPhone? Damn…” shrieked an unforgiving thiago.

“OMG, they have money for such a famous photographer but the result is terrible,” caioherrero exclaimed.

Vogue28 wasn’t exactly best impressed either, commenting: “Absolutely adore Angelina Kendall and love the fact she’s on the cover of Vogue Australia but this just ain’t it. Angelina deserved far better! Drab beyond belief, mostly because of Juergen Teller’s pedestrian photography. A massively missed opportunity!”

In complete agreement was ivano: “Drives me crazy that with such a strong model, Vogue Australia gave us this result. Angelina Kendall deserves a lot better!”

Anthony Vaccarello’s love for Juergen Teller only continues to go from strength to strength. After all, since 2019, the Saint Laurent creative director has enlisted the famed German photographer to capture a whole multitude of Saint Laurent’s fashion imagery to the point where we’ve began to loose count. Vaccarello invites Teller to lens his Summer 2024 campaign installment, with models Penelope Ternes, Loli Bahia, Ajus Samuel and Eva Herzigova becoming the face and embodiment of the Spring 2024 collection, which was headlined by the reincarnation of Monsieur Saint Laurent’s iconic safari jacket from 1968. The ladies assemble within a quarry throughout the series of fierce campaign imagery, embodying the ultimate Saint Laurent and becoming the true definition of femme fatale.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I saw this on a tram stop in Marseille and stopped in my tracks. It is so beautiful,” shared tomtakesphotos.

“Enough to make me go weak at the knees! I am 100% completely sold on yet another Juergen Teller-shot Saint Laurent campaign. The casting, the makeup, the location, the drama, the femme fatale vibes, everything’s just working perfectly to complement the collection perfectly,” enthused vogue28.

Urban Stylin shared the same sentiments, commenting: “Stunning campaign. Very retro YSL sophistication!”

“This campaign is getting better and better. Love every picture!” declared cul8tr.

Marc Jacobs has depended upon Juergen Teller a great deal to capture his vision for his eponymous fashion label. You might not even need reminding of the instantly-iconic Spring 2008 campaign with Victoria Beckham. To celebrate 40 years in the biz, Jacobs reunites with Teller for his celebratory Spring 2024 and ushers in a handful of his muses from past and present for the occasion. FKA Twigs, Dakota Fanning, Cindy Sherman, Lila Moss, Lil Uzi Vert and Bladee assemble in front of the Marc Jacobs offices in New York, each toting a selection of the American designer’s signature handbags (including the The Sack Bag, The Tote Bag and The Snapshot) – complete with even Jacobs and Teller making appearances themselves.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I will never understand the appeal of FKA Twigs – or this campaign. Everything sucks now,” critiqued lookatme.

“Terrible and unappealing,” said a less than impressed Lax89.

Thefrenchy was also left seriously underwhelmed, expressing: “I’m sorry but this is just lazy and lame.”

“This is horrendous – from the casting to the pedestrian photography. What’s there to strive toward here? So lank, lifeless and downright depressing. To think this is essentially a 40th anniversary campaign is beyond me,” voiced an unforgiving vogue28.

“Art direction-wise, I get what they were trying to pull off here. Unfortunately, it just ended up looking so cheap,” sighed notfatgoddess.

“Marc always has a good cast of people that I enjoy immensely, like Sofia [Coppola] and Cindy Sherman, but I always struggle to see the appeal of the brand. It was luxe before, but maybe within the past decade or so, it feels more inessential,” voiced forum member dontbeadrag.
