I was expecting to find here an official statement explaining that tweet was a hoax, but no ...

The illiteracy of the tweet is consistent with this quote from the Imram article ...

Quote:
Specifically, they did not agree with our columnist Colin McDowell’s conclusion that while Slimane’s work at Dior Homme was massively influential and built a huge cult following, “it didn’t always translate into convincing sales.” When we explained our thinking, namely that no designer can claim that every single collection is a commercial success, and politely declined to change the article, we were informed via email: “Don’t correct, fare [sic] enough, we won’t collaborate on any kind of project in the future.”
Surely this nut job PR will be replaced ... hopefully sooner rather than later.

And honestly, when I find stuff written like that in my inbox, I report it as spam
