Tearful Celebrity Fashion Campaigns

This Balmain Fall Ad Features Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

The Balmain Fall 2016 campaign features Kim Kardashian West and her husband Kanye West.

The Wests continue to make waves in the media as their celebrity feuds, businesses and music continue to dominate pop culture news. The Balmain Fall Campaign shows them modelling for the fashion house in black and white photos that are quite powerful. The models in this campaign are all featured crying and in one photo, Kanye is seen sporting the same vivid blue eye contacts that he wore at this year's Met Gala. Both Kim and Kanye are seen modelling the same Balmain clothing they wore at the annual fashion event.

The photos were shot by the photographer Steven Klein and are simultaneously poignant and cutting-edge.
