French Vogue Editors Were Banned From Balenciaga Runway Show

French Vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld and her team were absent from Balenciaga front row Thursday. Turns out they were barred from the show. “We’re blacklisted,” Roitfeld told WWD with a shrug at Nina Ricci later in the day. “It’s too bad, it’s a beautiful house and it’s French. I hope that it’s not forever.” She noted Balenciaga no longer advertises in the magazine or lends it clothes, but stopped short of giving any reason for the rift. “Ask them,” she offered. A Balenciaga spokesman declined comment.
