[pita bread]

end of an era. ghesquiere for dior homme plz

[Denton]

that's unexpected

are there any big creative director openings still where he might go? or anyone to replace ghesquiere for that matter (...someone give helmut a call maybe?)

[bill]

I'm hoping to see him start his own line or go to McQueen or to do something with Theyskens.

or to replace Raf at Raf.

Rumor has it Kostas Murkudis in one of the options. His current stuff looks somewhat Ghesquiere-ish, but I don't think that's what Balenciaga should be looking for in the successor. Nobody can step in Ghesquiere's footsteps, a much better path would be to start anew and reinterpret what Balenciaga is, like Raf did at Dior.

'Sup, Christopher Kane

Alexander Wang is dope.

Would be awesome to see what he does w/ Balenciaga.

Haters will hate but dude has great ideas.

Kostas Murkudis would be a better choice than either Kane or Wang...
