i just read that francois-henri pinault hinted in a cbs interview in december that wang would be an asset also in 'couture'.
how funny will that be - they kick out ghesquière who's got talent to boot and would be fantastic for couture (imho) - and put in a kid who likes spandex and ripping off other designers, and then give HIM a new haute couture atelier to play with?
on the other hand, maybe they need something like that to balance the damage to the brand resulting from the sub-par fashion that will be produced under the balenciaga name henceforth...Last edited by Shucks; 02-22-2013, 09:16 AM.

I'm sure him knowing how to design a bag that appeals to women had something to do with it (all those studs on his rocco). Brand recognition is obviously something he considers in products, like those studs, and clips.. At the end of the day, every brand is a business, whether you like to call it that or not, and you need to make something that sells. He's so young in his career, give him a chance.
