First ad campaign for Balenciaga (from Alexander Wang)

The first ad campaign by Alexander Wang for Balenciaga has just been released on the brand's website... and it features a headless woman.

The campaign was shot by Steven Klein, and presumably will give the direction Wang sees for the house.  In WWD, the designer states he was going for " a very cinematic portrayal ...with lots of emotion."  Overall, it is quite the departure from what we have seen from Nicholas Ghesquiere who created sulky, colorful campaigns with well known celebrities/models.

How long will the comparison continue?
