Rihanna is now the new face of Balmain. Are we surprised? No. If you follow their creative director on Instgram (you should), you’ll quickly learn that he has a love affair with Rihanna. Who doesn’t? She’s a bad bitch. She handles her life better than most and doesn’t care what the haters say. While the quick comparison shows that it’s basically the Balenciaga Fall 2011 campaign — seriously, it’s the same thing. To the trained MySpace eye, it’s really just pitctures of pre-teen emo kids with MySpace photo angles. I found a few that really take the cake.
