Gossip time kids!
Right, remember how everyone reported and speculated on the awful news that Christophe Decarnin from Balmain was seeking medical treatment and in a mental insitution? Well, that might not be the reason he was missing the Balmain bow at the end of the show.
Reports are coming in that he might have been pushed out by the brand (the brand announced this week they have cut ties with the designer and will be replacing him next season) and then been treated for depression.
The silence over this story is of course due to the timing. It happened the same time as Galliano's racist rant which was much more of a news story. Sadly. It had all the markings of a good story the press love. Anyway! Decarnin was told by doctors not to attend the Balmain show. So that's why no show at the show.
Apparently sales in Balmain grew by 50% during his time with the brand. HOW? I must admit I lust like the best of us over their military jackets.....but their prices are just crazy. It kinda killed the brand for me. I know there is label lust and then there is just plain madness. Charging $1,600 a T-shirt is a little sick when you consider that even McQueen is cheaper then that. You could get a lovely Prada dress for that.
Good luck to the designer, all the best and a speedy recovery.
