Balenciaga’s Summer campaign puts family front and center

Family values! For Balenciaga’s Summer 2024 campaign, creative director Demna is leaning in.

Rounding out the cast are go-to Balenciaga models Tommy Blue, Khadim Sock, Bibi Hoad, Simone Embrack, Jay Pak, and Noureddine Boudaakat. All are outfitted in the brand’s neutral, oversized athleisure, suiting, and eveningwear, shot by photographer Jitka Hanzlová against various mansion-printed backdrops to wink at the idea of what “luxury” truly means.

Rihanna is Vogue China‘s April cover star

Rihanna is the latest covergirl for Vogue China, fronting the publication’s April issue with not one, but five covers—one of which she teased the Internet with on Monday. In the new Western-inspired editorial, the mogul and performer wears ensembles from labels including Louis Vuitton and CPLUS Series. Her accompanying interview with outgoing editor in chief Margaret Zhang covers a range of topics, as well, including the beauty industry, motherhood, and making her parents proud. “The most beautiful thing… is that [children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity, which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group,” she tells Zhang. “It’s really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be… they should embrace it completely, because it’s beautiful, and it’s unique. I love them just that way.”
