If there is anybody who seems to have it all right now then that person is Kristen Stewart.
Not only is she the lead character in one of the most successful franchises of this decade, but she can call one of the most handsome men on the planet her long term boyfriend. The only thing she has been criticised for in the past is her fashion sense; Kristen has embraced her own unique gothic/grunge style over the years, preferring this to the mounds of free designer clothes sent her way. But recently Kristen has been pictured at events wearing designers such as Roberto Cavalli and J Mendel, and the fashion industry has taken notice it seems.
Balenciaga today announced that Kristen is to be the face of their new women’s perfume due for release this Autumn. The fragrance is still unnamed as of today, but this is huge news for Kristen as it is her first major fashion advertising campaign.
“Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now.”
CEO of the brand, Isabelle Guichot explained the decision to the same paper,
“Kristen is the perfect choice as she embodies Nicolas Ghesquière’s unique vision for the second chapter in our fragrance history.”
Congratulations Kristen!
