Mélanie is the model for a feature on fashion house Balenciaga in the spring issue of i-D magazine! The article isn’t about her, but designer Nicolas Ghesquière had a few kind words for Mélanie nevertheless. You can see scans below, thanks to The Fashion Spot member fearless123, as well a quote! This might explain why she chose Balenciaga alone to attend during fashion week!

But it was Mélanie Laurent he turned to when approached as to who should model in this Balenciaga special. “Mélanie is an actress who is on her way, I trust that she will go on to do some great and powerful roles,” says Ghesquière. “I saw an interview with her on TV one day when she was so funny, completely hyperactive and crazy but in a good way, she wanted to dance, she wanted to sing, I appreciate that, her honesty, she doesn’t have to hide or pretend. I thought to myself, ‘this one is so much fun!’”
