Description

Captured by Rafael Pavarotti for the Balmain Fall 2023 advertising campaign under the creative direction of Olivier Rousteing, this high fashion photograph features a model enveloped in an imposing, textured black quilted cape and matching trousers. The garment features an exaggerated sculptural bow collar and trailing floor-length silhouette. The model wears a tight black skull cap highlighted with a fine crimson stripe across the brow, posed with hands extended against a smooth teal-to-green gradient studio backdrop. Controlled directional lighting accentuates the geometric quilted surface texture and crisp architectural proportions of the garment.
