A Shocking Departure

The fashion world is in shock: Nicolas Ghesquière is leaving Balenciaga.

Huhwhatwhy?!

Since taking over as creative director for the label in 1997, the French-born designer has modernized and reinvented Cristobal Balenciaga’s famed house into a major power player in the industry, with fans that include Madonna, muse Jennifer Connelly (pictured here with her friend/favorite clother), and Kristen Stewart.

The parting between Ghesquière and Balenciaga’s parent company, Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, is described as amicable, though...so maybe the guy just wanted to a change?

Let the speculation – and anticipation over that he’ll do next – begin.
