Discussion: Who Should Be The Creative Director of Chanel?

[JohannesL]

If Chanel/Dior has a Mademoiselle line, Hedi would be a real talent for the position, but he has a limited talent when it comes to cater mature/older clients.

i don't think young people are the biggest Hedi clients (besides the K pop ava bags or tiktok trendy shades) .....as much as his youth obsession is clear .....both from price point to the fact that the clothes he does are quite classic and grown up beside the OTT rock star pieces.

worst thing a brand can do is to die with its old clients

Judging by the haute couture clients thread most of these ladies would have to first book a lipo appointment before coming near Hedi's clothes.

the real question is if he can actually make 6-8 collections in a year. It feels like he made around the same amount of collections in total for his 7 year stint at celine. He will run out of baby dresses and baby coats by half a year.

ozempic is becoming normal in 5 years you will see clearly the shift with these clients as well

Hedi cuts usually adapt well to sizes, with limitations of course. I’ll never fault his cuts.

If we’re worried about the older clientele Hedi surprisingly is conservative. I’m more worried that he cannot do more unconventional womenswear propositions. It’s all classics.

KL did not oversee all collections you know that the main collection teams do the ski and othe capsulöes and also add onto the resort collection following KLs input .

all big brands have now double teams for show collections and main commercial LV DIOR GUCCI PRADA HERMES the CD etc is involved depending on need or interest each season then all departments have head /design directors .

Celine drops all the time collections just like Chanel not as much because its more established than what Hedi started at Celine.

but they had celine yoga/pilates stuff coming up hermes also does now etc

the goal of them all is to be lifestyle brands what Ralph perfected years ago , you eats sleep travel dress smell life ...with/like the brand products to compliment every part of your life

but he can do 80 ´s tink 90´s twink 00´s twink 70´s twink 5o´s twink also future twink he shown at dior so he id the only right person we know of to do it justice commercial and sharp and wholistic ...would not ind chanel mens by him it would make the brand go even bigger all the birkin kelly fem boys will save money to spend on chanel RTW.

Bruno knows what the best choice is he is not that much of a idiot .

Hedi's reputation is only tangentially related to his work. Channel should release his first few collections without saying who the CD is. Let longtime customers decide what they think of the clothes. Then drop the bomb that they're buying Slimane designs.

ozempic is becoming normal in 5 years you will see clearly the shift with these clients as well

Hedi will need to find a song about ozempic to use as a runway soundtrack. Like that song about coke and amphetamines he used for his first Celine men's collection. With Hedi the music shows the way...

my opinion stays the same, hedi can only turn smaller brands into mini hedi chanels. Apart from that theres no other new direction he can take the actual Chanel. Everything in his hedi's how to turn a brand into chanel playbook is already existing/thriving in Chanel. What's left is to make unimagineable clothes that will make their clients dream.
