God bless French TV. Those intrepid journalists across the channel have squeezed out important fashion-based gossip from Mr Nicolas Ghesquière. On current affairs show, Petit Journal, the creative director of Louis Vuitton’s womenswear revealed that he plans to open his own label. Answering host Yann Barthès’ question, ‘would you like to launch your own Nicolas Ghesquière label?’, he replied “I would like to do it soon, I don’t have a date, but I’ll come back to tell you.” Ooooh. What a tease. Of course, this news has prompted much rumour-mill-grinding amongst fashion sorts – will he “do a Raf” and leave Louis V after just a few short years? Can he do both, a J Dubz? Who knows. We don’t. But we might soon. Stay tuned.
