Kristen Stewart just might to have find herself a new designer label to adore.

The Breaking Dawn 2 star, who has worn countless Balenciaga designs for red carpet appearances, including a standout quilted motorcycle jacket, a chic one-shoulder color-block design and, most recently, a provocative white crop top with black trousers, might want to hold on to those covetable pieces and start collecting a few more before the label changes artistic direction.

Nicolas Ghesquière, currently creative director of Balenciaga, is leaving his post at the end of the month.

 

According to Fashionista.com, Balenciaga parent company PPR just announced that the label and Ghesquière have made the "joint decision to end their working relationship as of 30 November 2012."

Producing standout runway collections for Balenciaga since 1997, Ghesquière consistently received rave reviews from critics, celebrities and designers alike, so we're curious to see how the brand will evolve with this change in creative command. No word as to what Ghesquière's future plans include. 

Additonal celebrity fans of Balenciaga include Gywneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, Beyoncé, Katie Holmes and many more.
