The Chelsea space where the Ghesquiere-era shop was was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy and closed down permanently. The NY corporate offices for Balenciaga still reside in the space above and I believe use the ground level for internal purposes now, as well.I barely pay a visit/attention to shops I don't like the designers related to ... But I was always fond of the shop on 22nd - oh wait it was Ghesquiere (first because it was in my Chelsea galleries walk, second just a few steps after CDG ...). But, I assume they closed this one after Sandy and opened on Mercer St. Isnt Wang store on Mercer, too ? How is it inside ? Is it still Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster who designs the shop ? What will they do with that space on 22nd - it is still there, empty (I do guess) and with a Balenciaga sign (if I remember correctly) ... ?
omg. am i making sense ?
All he did was present 4 looks and called it a day. This is just lazy.
Nicolas Ghesquiere is probably sad to see what has become of this house he (re)built for years: Kanye, Kim, and North West in the front row hoopla (Balenciaga being desperate for press?!) and this whole mess that Alexander Wang puts out season after season. It's Balenciaga's loss letting Ghesquiere leave ah oh well we still got few more days to see the real master again in Vuitton B)
And Nicholas didn't???All he did was present 4 looks and called it a day. This is just lazy.
Terribly boring, terribly unflattering, terrible everything.
He's getting progressively worse with each collection, and if he doesn't start trying something new! then I don't see him lasting much longer at the house.
