News of Nicolas Ghesquiere’s departure from Balenciaga seemed to surprise everyone from Style.com, whose feature about him in their new print magazine offers no real clues, to Cathy Horyn, who just offered up some insight as to why Ghesquière may have decided to leave.

Cathy Horyn vs. Hedi Slimane, the Best of Paris Fashion Week, and Kim Kardashian’s Fashion Inspiration
Week In Review

Cathy Horyn vs. Hedi Slimane, the Best of Paris Fashion Week, and Kim Kardashian’s Fashion Inspiration

The Best of Paris: Fashion month is now over and it ended on a high note in Paris. See which collections had the critics raving and which we felt were the 10 best of the week.

Hedi Slimane vs. Cathy Horyn: Hedi Slimane made his debut at the former YSL, to mixed reviews. One of them, a critique from Cathy Horyn, upset him enough to result in this open letter. Horyn called it “silly nonsense”, and Slimane fired a few more shots. Can’t we all just get along?

How the Gallery Girls Are Making It: We visited End of Century to chat with the stars of the Bravo reality show about starting a business in the bad economy, whether there will be a second season and their advice for aspiring gallery owners.

This is getting completely out of hand.

If you’ll recall, today Cathy Horyn dismissed Hedi Slimane’s open letter to her (in which he called her a “schoolyard bully” and attacked her personal style), calling it “silly nonsense.”

We figured that was the end of it. We were wrong. (We should have known better.)

Slimane is back at it on Twitter:

Cathy Horyn Says Hedi Slimane Banned Her From Saint Laurent Because of an 8 Year Grudge
