Balenciaga Suing // Nicolas Ghesquiere

For a few days it's been everywhere about Balenciaga suing Nicolas Ghesquiere, we all know about him and Balenciaga's problems which lead to his departure last year. Nicolas then followed up and finally revealed all with his controversial interview for System. 


In his interview Ghesquiere made comments about how he felt frustrated at the brand, he ended up feeling alone and felt everything had become so corporate it was no longer about fashion anymore. He was left feeling unappreciated and they only cared about merchadising and the results. Nicolas even made comment of saying it all became so dehumanised, it was all about branding and corporate sales. 

As James St James once said 'don't dis anyone in press' press instantly becomes the truth and perhaps Nicolas could have thought about his choice to go public on their fued. I mean I think it's good that he went to press and talked about it rather than slating them on social media sites, he managed to remain fairly degnified about the whole affair. 

I guess it's all a rule of business not to act in such a way and also bite the hand that feeds, I don't know depends what peoples thoughts are on this issue?
