Speaking of his look previously, the 22-year-old said: “I want what I wear to be iconic”.
Sam Smith has been revealed as the new face of Balenciaga.
“I am absolutely honoured [sic] to have been chosen to be the face of Balenciaga”, Sam explained in a statement.
Two hours later, Smith made the official announcement.
We’re more used to seeing the likes of Gisele and Kate Moss star in Balenciaga’s campaigns, so seeing Smith is certainly a refreshing surprise. I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d be wearing these clothes, let alone modeling them. I love how intimate it feels, and how involved Alexander has been and is with the brand.
