Confirmed! It's Alexander Wang To Balenciaga!
SECOND UPDATE: WWD just confirmed that Alexander Wang will be the new creative director at Balenciaga. With both commercial and design sense, Alexander Wang was a logical choice to helm the fashion-forward design house and succeed Nicolas Ghesiquiere (whose last day on the job is today). Congrats, Alex! See you in Paris.
UPDATE: There's been a lot of back-and-forth here (which you can see on the following page), but now The New York Times' Runway blog is reporting that Wang has emerged as the primary candidate for Nicolas Ghesquière's job at Balenciaga. The paper is saying an announcement could be made as early as next week, according to an anonymous source in Paris. So...it looks like this is really happening. (NYT)
