Carine Roitfeld For Balenciaga?

Rumors are swirling that Carine Roitfeld has been selected to style the house of Balenciaga following the appointment of Alexander Wang as the new creative director. In case you missed it, here are Carine's thoughts on the best person to head Balenciaga, her remarks were given on the day that the departure of Nicolas Ghesquière was announced. Note that being diplomatic, La Roitfeld does not mention a specific name, but I believe the choice to hire Wang is in keeping with her vision. I would absolutely love to see what this duo would do together for the brand. Although, what will become of the role of Marie-Amélie Sauvé at Balenciaga? Further details as they are known, bien sûr...

Exciting news, Kellina. If it's true, do you think she'll continue with CR Fashion Book??

[kellina]

I do, Michael, she currently maintains CR Fashion Book while styling advertising campaigns and collections for several major fashion houses. HOW does she do it?! I truly cannot imagine but I applaud her nonetheless.

After she got banned from balenciaga 2 years ago now she will work for them how ironic! So does it mean that the P.V will be still persona non grata to the maison de balenciaga?! Hmmm

Bernie, it's the wild world of fashion! Definitely interested to see how it unfolds...
