The campaign unfolds a narrative of textures and contrasts within the black and white images. With her voluminous blonde tresses, Esther embodies the brand’s dedication to luxurious hairstyles. The work of Balmain Hair artistic director Ilham Mestour is evident, as each strand appears infused with movement and life, despite the stillness of the image.
