Shock announcement this morning: Nicolas Ghesquiere, the much-heralded creative director who's been credited with building Balenciaga into the must-have luxury label over the past 15 years, has left the company.
No definitive reason was offered, besides a brief press release under the headline: "The Balenciaga fashion house and Nicolas Ghesquiere announce their joint decision to end their partnership."
"Cristobal Balenciaga was a master, a genius whose avant-garde vision dictated fashion's greatest trends and inspired generations of designers," said PPR Chairman and CEO Francois-Henri Pinault in the statement. "With an incomparable creative talant, Nicolas has brought to Balenciaga an artistic contribution essential to the unique influence of the house."
