During Balmain's Fall 2011 collections in Paris, there was a noteable absence. The designer, Chrisophe Decarnin, was a no-show. Thats when rumors began to surface that he did not take his bow because he was seeking treatment at a psychiatric hospital. Today the house of Balmain announced that Decarnin is departing from the label, which is sad news because we love the $500 ripped up tee's and $700 hoodies. This is also sad news for Kanye West, since thats all he's been wearing for the past year.
