Ghesquière sees himself designing own label one day: report

It looks like Nicolas Ghesquière might well launch his own label, but not for now. Asked by the Wall Street Journal whether he’d considered a namesake line, he was honest: « I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to do it. » That said, he’s got his current commitments. « I would like to do it, but each thing in its time, » he continued. « Today I dedicate myself to Louis Vuitton without forgetting that I have wishes, desires. »

When his own label does launch in the future, we can expect it to be big news, and it won’t be a small operation either. « If it’s to reproduce on a smaller scale what is done on a large scale, honestly, no, it’s not interesting, » added the 43-year-old designer. « And that’s not at all the way that I one day envisage launching myself, especially having experienced the biggest existing model. » 

So like Raf Simons at Dior (the Belgian has his own men’s line) and Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel (who has a healthily expanding namesake fashion and accessories line), expect the former Balenciaga main man to come up with something big.
