‘So honoured and ecstatic to announce my collaboration with @balenciaga on the upcoming FW15 Menswear campaign!!!’ Smith captioned one of his many Instagram posts on Wednesday.

The ‘Stay With Me’ singer looks his usual tortured self in the one-minute-long promotional video which is shot in black and white. In the very arty and abstract video, Smith appears to be hopelessly searching for a way out of a domed room. There’s also a series of photographs which go alongside the video.

Balenciaga released a statement alongside the images in which they explained why Smith was the perfect fit to act as the face of their Autumn/Winter line.

"Sam Smith conveys a quiet elegance and a subtle sensuality that are perfect for Balenciaga,” Creative Director Alexander Wang said (via the HuffPost). “He represents both sensitivity and power - the dualities of the Balenciaga man.”

In other new, Smith recently recovered from throat surgery. Smith was hospitalised in May with a vocal cord haemorrhage and had to undergo surgery. He was ordered to avoid speaking and singer for a number of months. Fortunately, just in time for his American tour, he’s fully recovered. He announced the news on Instagram on Wednesday, describing his throat as looking ‘BLOODY FANTASTIC’.
