Balmain has announced its head designer, and as rumours implied, Olivier Rousteing will take Christophe Decarnin's place. Rousteing has led the label's women's wear studio since 2009, when he joined the company after five years at Roberto Cavalli.
As for Decarnin, reports say he's been gone from Balmain since early this year, and it's speculated that he was admitted to a mental hospital. Decarnin was notably absent from his Fall '11 show in Paris this March. It's unclear whether Rousteing had a large hand in that show - and it's yet to be seen whether he'll keep Decarnin's signature shredded and sparkly designs at the forefront of the brand.
