It's been a little more than seven months since Kim Kardashian started (almost) exclusively wearing Balenciaga. From her blacked-out ensemble at the Met Gala, to the larger-than-life looks she touted during her New York City SNL press junket, the Skims founder has been (not so subtly) dropping hints that a larger partnership with the luxury house could be in the works. The culmination of that dedication is a spring campaign starring the fashion mogul for the new season—engaged in taking a selfie, of course.

She's decked out in an all-black look with that's become quintessentially Kim. Lensed by photographer Stef Mitchell, the mom-of-four joins other famous friends of the brand featured on the series including French actress Isabelle Huppert and model Marie-Agnès Diene, in their natural habitats.

But the Parisian house took its infatuation with Kardashian to the next level, when it cleared its Instagram feed of any prior posts – leaving only one of Kardashian in the spring campaign behind. She's portrayed in her Calabasas home, wearing a range of key items from the collection, which include a neon iteration of the cult 'La Cagole bag' in one and the brand's signature cinched overcoat and 'Hourglass' hand bag of the same name, in another shot.
