Today, BoringNotCom (a reliable scooper) posted on Instagram that Vaccarello is leaving the house and will be replaced by Chemena Kamali. She’s currently the Creative Director of Chloé and previously was the Women’s Ready to Wear Design Director under Anthony Vaccarello at Saint Laurent. (Talk about musical chairs!) Chloé and Saint Laurent have not addressed these rumors and did not respond to comment when we reached out on August 18th. Stay tuned!
