Demna Gvasalia Named As Balenciaga’s New Artistic Director

Since its is announced that Alexander Wang and Balenciaga’s parent company Kering mutually decided not to renew Wang’s contract as the artistic director of Balenciaga, everybody was waiting for the new name to lead the creative team at the fashion house. Yesterday, Kering announced the appointment of Vetement’s designer Demna Gvasalia as the new artistic director of Balenciaga with an official statement, just days after Wang’s last show for the house. Gvasalia’s brand Vetement is considered as one of the coolest brands in Paris for the moment. Considering Vetement’s spirit and Gvasalia’s quite long past working closely with Mr. Martin Margiela at Maison Martin Margiela, we are very excited to see the creative direction Balenciaga will take in the following seasons.
