Balmain's Close To Announcing Christophe Decarnin's Successor

Over priced fashion house Balmain is thisclose to announcing who will take over as the creative director now that Christophe Decarnin went crazy is out.
Rumor has it, at least Aaccording to industry insiders, the French luxury label is finalizing a contract with Olivier Rousteing.
And now for the collective "who!?".
Rousteing was to Decarnin as Sarah Burton was to Alexander McQueen; so it makes sense.
Balmain's expected to make the not-so-surprising announcement as early as this week.
