Cutting and pasting is one of the first things a child learns about arts and crafts. Could this simple skill be a concept adaptable into [high fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by)? [Balenciaga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign) seems to think so.

The Spring/Summer 2010 campaign for Balenciaga presents [collaged models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform) strategically (I guess) placed on prints. Although their fashion-forward pieces are always on point, they may truly be the only things catching our attention in these ads. Case in point? Or just not creative enough?
