Breaking News: Christopher Kane to Balenciaga?


Woke up this morning with some exciting news: Christopher Kane is the new designer of Balenciaga! Of course I regret Nicolas Ghesquière leaving. He really did something extraordinary at the house. But I'm sure Christopher will be a good successor as he did great things with his own label and with Versus.

Christopher Kane is undoubtly the best man for this job
(as it is not an easy task to beat Nicolas Ghesquière, let's be honest)

UPDATE: Several French sources, including Le Nouvel Observateur, reported that Christopher Kane was appointed creative director. This rumor was denied by his spokesman. 'The rumors are based on nothing.'
This afternoon it was announced that Kane stops after three years at Versus. Donatella Versace will now design the capsule collections for Versace's sister-brand.
Balenciaga's CEO Isabel Guichot has confirmed that she has a list of potential candidates. There is speculation about big names like Alexander Wang, Joseph Altuzarra and Bouchra Jarrar.
The plans of  Nicolas Ghesquière are still unknown.

The Middle East is always a great inspiration for leading fashion designers. Not only because of the rich culture, but also bacause of the growing Asian market. Many fashion houses expand to the far east and Asian woman buy haute couture more than ever. So it's nice to see that development on the catwalk.
That means there were a lot of flowers, origami folding, dragons, silks and kimonos.
The only collection that wasn't quite my thing, sorry Miuccia, was Prada. Imagine towering platforms with socks AND bows AND gold (why?)!
