Martine Rose Is the New Creative Director of Balenciaga
The move follows months of online praise and comes after Rose paused her own label amid a dispute with Tomorrow Ltd., which sold it this year.
- On Friday, Kering announced that designer Martine Rose will join Balenciaga as creative director, effective Nov. 16. Rose, who previously collaborated with Demna at the fashion house, will be based in Paris.
- Following a dispute with Tomorrow Ltd, Rose was forced to pause her FW26 collection earlier this year after selling a 60% stake to the incubator in 2023. The new role offers a reset for the designer.
- Industry goodwill for Rose remains strong; celebrities and fashion editors have celebrated the appointment. Her work has attracted fans including Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and Timothée Chalamet in recent years.
- Kering CEO Luca de Meo described Balenciaga as a 'house of radical creativity,' emphasizing Rose's alignment with the brand's spirit. She succeeds Pierpaolo Piccioli, who exited after less than 18 months.
- Balenciaga aims to keep the brand at the forefront of innovation and culture, with Kering stating the appointment 'marks a new chapter.' Rose is expected to honor the house's heritage while introducing her contemporary vision.
