^But so was Stefano's last collection, the pieces do look a hell of a lot like his last collection and if the ad is for F/W 12.13 then it is obviously his last collection, unless this is for resort ? this was shot back in July.

This is the epitome of Slimane's aesthetic and anyone who isn't familiar should know this is what he has done and what he will always do, I'm not really expecting anything on the scale of what Annie L. or M&M do, because ultimately Hedi is a designer, just like Lagerfeld and with him wanting complete creative freedom with the brand including advertising, for me only makes him a Lagerfeld rip-off so to speak.

I have to admit as cynical as I am over the situation, I do love the womenswear shot, it has Hedi's androgynous stamp on it, it's simple and straight to the point.
