- Martine Rose will lead Balenciaga from Paris after joining on November 16, 2026.
- Kering CEO Luca de Meo linked the appointment to Balenciaga's radical creativity and its connection with a new generation.
- The move follows a wider effort to refresh Kering's fashion houses while Gucci remains a key recovery challenge.
Kering and Balenciaga announced on Friday, November 6, 2026, that Martine Rose will become Balenciaga's creative director. The appointment is effective November 16 and places the London-based designer at the center of Kering's effort to renew the identity of one of its luxury houses.
Kering stock traded at 186.74 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:03 CET on Friday, November 6, 2026. That compares with 192.55 euros in the November 4 ad-hoc-news report, leaving the share 3.02 percent lower since that report.
Rose brings a distinct design language
According to Kering, Rose has developed her own label since 2007 and draws on subculture, music, identity and the social codes of dress. Her work is known for challenging established conventions of fashion and masculinity.
Kering CEO Luca de Meo said Rose's connection to a new generation and her understanding of culture would bring a new dimension to Balenciaga. The company said the appointment supports its ambition to keep the house at the forefront of innovation, creativity and culture.
Turnaround focus remains broader
Balenciaga is one of Kering's major fashion houses alongside Gucci, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta. The creative change therefore adds a strategic layer to a wider portfolio reset, while recent Kering reports have continued to identify Gucci's sales and margin recovery as the central operational challenge.
