Hedi Slimane for Topman?
Kate Moss showed success with Topshop... maybe he could fund his own label afterward.

Hedi Slimane for H&M?
Stella did womenswear only. Maybe he'd do just menswear? Or he could do both. It'd be a good way to keep working, learn a little, and raise funds.

Why not?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! For God's sake!

uh i think the general public has never heard of Hedi Slimane to be honest

Well I think that in both of those situations that were mentioned (Topshop & H&M) would defeat the purpose. Hedi did not want his ideals about quality and artistic credibility to be compromised so why would he go to either of these places just to make quick money? I've heard the quality of H&M is not so good and I don't know about the other shop.. Sorry, but I don't think that would be a great idea.

Also, a lot of what Hedi is known for is now being sold under an H&M (or any other brand) label.

True. And to the person who said that Hedi is known, well, I spend my days recieving some "OMG you're wearing Hedi's clothes" from techno/cheapmonday/emo kids in my college who has probably never put a feet into a Dior store but who ***know*** him. He's far too mainstream now to be a serious designer. You can thank Dior for that. At the very beginning (Follow me/etc) there was something like a "club" in Paris, where only a few people knew him and recognized each other (I remember people lurking around Colette to find the white sneakers, as well as the Chrome Hearts jewels). And then something changed, around SS 05. Good ol' days (anyway since then Dior is a tragedy )
