Captured by renowned photographer Nadav Kander, Balenciaga’s “The Characters” campaign explores refined simplicity, with each star presenting a unique character while wearing the iconic Rodeo bag.

 

Each ambassador brings a distinctive presence to the campaign, sitting on a simple chair against a seamless white background, allowing their personalities and the fashion to take center stage.

 

Isabelle Huppert, known for her enigmatic screen presence, Kim Kardashian, a global style icon, and Naomi Watts, an acclaimed actress, embody different facets of the modern woman. The attire consists of iconic pieces from Balenciaga’s ready-to-wear, including hybrid garments, sports-inspired silhouettes, evening dresses and Knife stilettos, all designed to highlight the brand’s avant-garde aesthetic.

The Rodeo bag is the centerpiece of the campaign, an emblem of Balenciaga’s craftsmanship and innovation.

 

Crafted in exquisite matte calfskin, the Rodeo bag features a unique construction and a versatile closure system. Its pre-worn accordion pleats, softened piping and unfinished edges give the bag a relaxed and lived-in feel, reminiscent of a treasured object that becomes a personal heirloom.

 

This sense of timelessness and familiarity is what makes the Rodeo bag a standout piece in the collection.
