While there were several theories floating around (frustrations with Balenciaga parent company Kering, disagreements over the commercialization and expansion of the brand, some even say Wang was being courted before Ghesquière left), it was never made clear why Nicolas Ghesquière split from Balenciaga back in November.

A thoughtful and dishy-sounding new independent print magazine is set to hit newsstands in May. Though, it’s being met with some opposition from publishing giant Condé Nast.
In news that makes us really, really happy: Carine Roitfeld is slated to launch her own magazine.

There were navys and forest greens and deep reds, with plenty of black and even some brown. There were Read more →
