So you all know that I'm in the process of making this blog about editorials a bit more, so for my first, Christophe Decarnin has left Balmain.
Decarnin has been creative director of Balmain since 2007, and joined the thriving Paris based company in 2005. According to the company's report, Decarnin's decision to leave was fuelled by an argument against the chairman Alain Helvin. A statement has been issued following the departure.
'Since 1945, the house of Pierre Balmain has been one of the leading French and international luxury brands. Christophe Decarnin’s work with the house’s design team contributed to the success that the brand has enjoyed in recent years.'
Although Decarnin was a no show for Balmain at Paris fashion week, mere weeks ago, it was rumoured that he was in fact given doctor's orders not to work. The position has already been filled by an unknown designer at Balmain but with regards to Decarnin's next move, the rumour mill is already afloat with the current vacancy available at Dior.
