Is this the new fashion scandal?
Apparently a rumour reached me today about the absence of Balmain designer Christophe Decarnin at the recent Balmain show. Bit odd. I normally love seeing what designers wear when they take their bow at the catwalk close. But he was missing in action.
The reason?
Fashion-ers in the know are claiming he is in a mental hospital. No, I'm not kidding. According to some, he's been there since January. The result of a nervous breakdown brought on by stress. He is said to have vanished one day and staff were told he would not be returning for some time.
Balmain chiefs haven't released a statement yet but have said : “He’s tired, after working on the collection ; which was a relief to me, as I at first had thought he had said ‘retired’. “No, he’s NOT retired. He’s just tired. He didn’t go to bed until 5am. He’s not here, he’s resting,” M. Hivelin stressed.
Ok, no one misses a show because they are tired. But it's heartbreaking to think he has been in there for two whole months before the fashion world reported on the rumour. Between this and Galliano, its overdrive in the land of the lovelies!
If this is true, how did this go under the radar for so long? More on this as we get it!
