A source told the New York Post newspaper: ''The most left-field name is the one at Vetements, but some say he's already confirmed.''
Other contenders include, lead McQ designer Alistair Carr and Paco Rabanne's creative director Julien Dossena, who have both worked for Balenciaga in the past under Nicolas Ghesquière.

He commented: ''I am very grateful for the opportunity and I'm excited for the next chapter.''
