Surprisingly, our forum members seem unfazed by the news. “Wow. His tenure sure was short and sweet,” khyrk commented the minute the news broke.

“Finally. Bye!” added a relieved Scotty while HeatherAnne simply said, “A big fat: whateverrrrrrr.”

Also not too fussed was KissMiss who hailed, “Thank God! Time for some elegance.”

Zelda Zonk was quick to write, “That’s a shame, I really liked what he did for Balenciaga, more than what he does for his own label. But I guess it already takes a lot of his time, and it’s his own label that is making him really successful. So maybe he wants to focus on that? I’m really curious to see who is going to work for Balenciaga now.”

“Kering [French Luxury Goods Company] is ridiculous with their constant shuffling of designers. If I was a designer I’d never agree to work for one of their houses because you know you’ll be out in about 5 years max,” pointed out lelaid.

“The name Alistair Carr comes to my mind,” posted momo526, already playing the guessing game as to who’s set to replace Wang.
