Well, let’s chew the fat about this Balmain big shot, the, uh, “CEO.” Sounds fancy, right? Like some bigwig in a suit.
So, this fella, Matteo Sgarbossa, that’s his name, he’s the new head honcho at Balmain. Took over from some other guy, Jean-Jacques somethin’-somethin’. Don’t ask me to spell it, child. Too many j’s and g’s for this old woman.
Anyways, this Matteo fella, he used to work at another fancy place, Givenchy, I think they call it. Sound like “give-en-chee.” Probably makes clothes for them city slickers and movie stars. Now he’s runnin’ the show at Balmain.
Balmain… Balmain… I heard tell it’s one of them high-falutin’ fashion houses. You know, the kind that makes them clothes you see in magazines, the ones that cost more than my whole henhouse!
They got this fella, Olivier Rousteing, he’s been there a while. He’s the “Creative Director.” Sounds important, right? He makes the pretty clothes, I guess. And this Matteo, he’s the boss now, makin’ sure everything runs smooth, like butter on a hot biscuit.
- New CEO: Matteo Sgarbossa
- Old CEO: Jean-Jacques Guvel (or somethin’ like that)
- Where Matteo came from: Givenchy
- Creative Director at Balmain: Olivier Rousteing
This change happened back in May, they say. May 6th, to be exact. Not that it matters much to me. I was probably out in the garden plantin’ tomatoes or somethin’.
I tell ya, all this talk about CEOs and fashion houses, it’s enough to make your head spin. Back in my day, we just wore what kept us warm and covered. Didn’t need no fancy names or big prices.
But I guess that’s how the world works now. Someone’s gotta make them fancy clothes, and someone’s gotta be the boss of it all. And that someone at Balmain now is this Matteo fellow. Hope he knows what he’s doin’. Runnin’ a big company like that, it’s gotta be harder than milkin’ a stubborn cow, I tell ya.
Balmain’s new CEO… it’s a big deal, I suppose, for them folks who care about such things. Me, I’m just hopin’ my tomatoes grow big and juicy this year. That’s the kind of thing that matters to this old woman.
They say this other fella, the one before Matteo, Jean-Jack, somethin’, he stepped down. Don’t know why. Maybe he got tired of all them fancy clothes. Maybe he wanted to go raise chickens like me. Wouldn’t blame him, to be honest.
And this Txampi Diz, sounds like a funny name, doesn’t it? He left too. Said he was a “strategic executive”. Lord knows what that means. Probably just means he had a big office and talked a lot. Anyways, he’s gone too.
So, lots of changes over there at Balmain. New boss, folks leavin’. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss if you ask me. But hey, as long as they keep makin’ them fancy clothes, I guess some folks will be happy. And that Matteo fella, he’s the one in charge now. CEO of Balmain. That’s a mouthful, ain’t it?
I saw a picture of him once, this Matteo. Looked young enough to be my grandson. But I guess these young folks are smart these days. They go to fancy schools and learn all about business and such. Me, I learned everything I needed to know on the farm. But hey, the world needs all kinds, I reckon.
Anyway, that’s the gist of it. Balmain’s got a new boss, this Matteo fella. He came from Givenchy. And the old boss, Jean-Jacques, he’s gone. And that other fella, Txampi Diz, he’s gone too. And there’s this Olivier fella who makes the clothes. Got it? Good. Now you know as much as I do about this Balmain CEO thing.
It ain’t rocket science, but it’s somethin’ to talk about, I guess. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. They’re probably squawkin’ for their supper.
