nicolas ghesquière.

my all time favorite designer. at only the age of 25 ghesquière became the head of fashion house balenciaga. the house was losing its high fashion status and needed a change, ghesquière made the change happen. he is known for his sense of silhouette, pairing high skinny pants with flowy dress tops wayyy back before it became a trend. he brought back the trend of platforms, which at one point were thought to be completely slutty. however, he turned that stereotype around by making them unique, beautiful and completely classy. now, platforms are back in trend and all designers can just say that ghesquière himself is responsible for this. fans of his creations include the likes of mary kate olsen, kate moss, sienna miller, chloe sevigny, and even the ice queen herself, anna wintour. i myself want to make a difference in fashion and be orignal with every outfit i create, just like him.
