>> An update on Christophe Decarnin's absence from today's Balmain show — although it was rumored earlier today that the designer was in a "mental hospital" and had no say in the Fall 2011 collection, WWD reports: "The designer was absent under doctor’s orders, after having recently been released from the hospital, where he was said to have been treated for depression. A Balmain spokesman said Decarnin was involved in the design." [WWD]

UPDATE: Decarnin was also spotted out and about this evening; one Twitterer dispatched: "Sitting at a table next to Christophe Decarnin." [@MinnieMuse]
