I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding in when I opened the thread. Well, no one can say that Slimane isn't being true to himself. At the moment it doesn't really feel like he is branching out beyond anything he likes personally; I used to love visiting his website regularly and going through his visual diary, but now there's not much of a difference between what you see there and what he's doing for the house he's currently heading.
Still, I'm hoping that I will be proven wrong that his ideas for Celine will feel more or less like a revised aesthetic of SL or his own personal work. Even as a person who prefers dark coloured clothes, I am hoping that Slimane will choose to use more colours beyond the monochrome black/grey/white palette and the occasional gold.
