Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have bagged another high-profile fashion role, this time as the faces of Balmain’s spring 2015 menswear campaign.

Kim released photos from the campaign on her Instagram page which showed the couple in a series of dark, moody poses wearing items from Balmain’s upcoming collections and kissing each other.

The label’s creative director Olivier Rousteing said: “For this menswear campaign, I wanted to capture a moment of love. Kim and Kanye are style icons and friends.

“It is an honour to have them in this Balmain campaign. Together, they represent love, beauty and diversity – they are the new modernity. This is more than a campaign, it expresses something beyond clothes – it is a celebration of love and friendship. This is a new statement for Balmain.”

Meanwhile, Kimye are said to be planning on celebrating Christmas in Paris with their daughter North this year.

According to the Daily Mirror, a source said that the trio had recently arrived in New York from Los Angeles and are “expected to remain there for the next few days, and then go to Paris”.

Reportedly, a source told Radar Online: “Kanye was adamant that Kim and North spend the Christmas holiday together, away from all of the holiday insanity of the Kardashians. The last thing Kanye wanted to do is spend the holidays with Kim’s entire family.

“Kim is still hopeful that Kanye will agree to figure out a way to return to Southern California to spend part of the holidays with her family. The problem for Kanye is that Kris’ (Jenner, Kim’s mum) house is just overrun with so many people.”
