  Demna, the creative director of Balenciaga, is set to leave his position after 10 years at the helm of the French fashion house during Paris Haute Couture Week. Demna's final collection will be unveiled on Wednesday and marks a significant change for the brand. He has been credited with reviving sales at Gucci under Kering CEO Francois-Henri Pinault, but will be succeeded by Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli in October. The event is expected to feature a range of high-profile designers, including Kim Kardashian and Charli XCX, who have been fans of Demna's work.
