Balmain's Spring 2015 campaign features models Adriana Lima, Joan Smalls, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Isabeli Fontana, and Crista Cober eating posing with burgers and playing video games in what looks like a stoner's den.

In a press release, Olivier Rousteing explained that "the
incredible power that all those strong women bring in front of
the camera, put into real life situations, helped me explore and create a
new reality that represents the pop aspect of my generation." The 25-year-old head designer is building a "Balmain Army" and clearly, he's been keeping up with the snackwave and slobcore tags on Tumblr to get modern women -- the woman who tries to not try at all -- on board. This makes sense, knowing that the fashion house enlisted Rihanna, the queen of IDGAF chic, as their former campaign star.
