Why pass up this golden opportunity? It’s time to hire Hedi Slimane for the job he was born for — the relaunch of TOPSHOP!

There is no house he can not take over actuallly - a jack of all trades 😆

You guys can joke about it all you want but it’s undeniable he delivered in all his CD positions - From YSL Rive Gauche Homme to Dior Homme, Saint Laurent and eventually Celine. You may disagree on the degree of taste and as I was mentioning before, even as a longtime admirer am not free of criticism but it’s without doubt he left on a high note and there is an evolution to his work - Sometimes you only see that upon hindsight.

Very few designers in this industry have this impressive track record and lasting influence on the brands he helped elevate, he can absolutely ask for the highest level of fees for whatever offers are flying his way - If not, he leaves behind a more than impressive body-of-work.

Chapeau!

Their website is down? Is it just me?

Céline is the only brand that is not cheap and it’s thanks to Hedi.

Dior, Givenchy, Fendi, Valentino, Hermès… their merchandise is terrible and beyond cheap. Hedi made Céline grow like crazy without compromising.

That said, I don’t get people saying this looks youthful. I mean, the models are young, the clothing is quite classic. But I’m ok with that. I think his Chanel will be a tad boring after a few years but better that than Jacquemus.

with such limited distribution of his rtw... it better be not cheap at all. The stores barely have any runway pieces or anything close to it. Mostly a lot of basics with logo or biker jackets etc.

so true, even thought I dont like Hedi's work he delivers , he's an obviously safe option for Chanel

he is a short term solution that will only worsen their problem after he leaves

You're joking, right?! The website and the boutiques are FULL of these kind of low-grade merch that all the brands are doing. Hedi compromised from day one to grow to the point Celine is at now. All the t-shirts and pet stuff etc etc. The fashion shows are a complete anomaly to what the brand is actually selling. He is no different from all the others you mentioned.

To me it’s not the same. Aside from the bra, none of his “easy” merch has been a huge success that destroyed the image. The Tshirts are even cute, I wouldn’t mind to wear one. The aura of the brand is still elevated and desirable.

The rest of the brands’ image is pure trash.

I have a more positive brand image of Celine too, creative. I wonder if it's partially because of Hedi's photography for the campaigns. Eye-ticklingly crisp while romanticizing even the most basic of items.
