Earlier this week, Balmain gave the world a first look at its new, Jenner sister-themed fall campaign. In the words of Creative Director Oliver Rousteing, the campaign is intended as "a celebration of the unique and unconditional love of siblings." It happens that based on the sheer number of followers among the model/celebrities and their unconditionally loving siblings; Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Joan and Erika Smalls, this might go down as the most blatant infiltration of fashion by social media yet.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Kendall Jenner: 31.8 million Instagram followers, 11.6M Twitter followers

Kylie Jenner: 29.4 million Instagram followers, 10.4M Twitter followers

Gigi Hadid: 4.7 Instagram followers, 484K Twitter followers

Bella Hadid: 1M Instagram followers, 107K Twitter followers

Joan Smalls: 1M Instagram followers, 219K Twitter followers

Erika Smalls: 8K Instagram followers, 1K Twitter followers

If you're quick with the addition of large numbers, that means this one campaign could conceivably have more reach than any fashion campaign ever, including those starting a single Jenner. Well played Oliver, well played.
