For the first time we get to see exactly what goes on behind-the-scenes of a Nicolas Ghesquiere Balenciaga campaign. The designer has unveiled exclusive footage from the making of the Autumn/Winter 2011-12 campaign which was captured by Steven Meisel. Shot on location at a New York studio and inside a Harlem church, the campaign stars Liya Kebede, Liisa Winkler, and Julia Nobis.

Balenciaga is set to relaunch their website later this week and this is the first video of many to come from the brand - 200, in fact. It will include another short film by Meisel featuring Balenciaga's Resort 2012 collection. Speaking of the development, Ghesquiere says,"It's important to be able to show things in movement."
