When I first saw this image for Balenciaga's Fall campaign with a buzzed-cut Gisele Bundchen, I got excited. I thought, "wow, can't believe she cut off her goldilocks." I was impressed, honestly. And then, well, I wasn't. I just knew this angel couldn't handle it. Or maybe her hubby? Vicky's angel wore a wig explained Balenciaga's creative director Alexander Wang. It took three hours to adhere the bald cap, paint skin tone to match, etc, etc... It makes me wonder why the legendary fashion house went to all this trouble? Balenciaga is an established label, they don't need Gisele. I would've used a fresh face with a real buzz cut and it would've cost much less. Just sayin'.
