Bos will also likely help the growth of Alaïa which this year did not take part in the fall-winter Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. Sources close to Alaïa say the brand recently renewed its contract with designer Pieter Mulier who was interviewed by LVMH to replace Hedi Slimane at Celine, as Miss Tweed reported in April.

Thank god. Mulier would suffer at Celine, especially if he was to act as a following act to Hedi. Also, could you post the full article for us?

Why would they even interview Mulier?

Maybe because he's an high profile designer?

Vaccarello was essentially a miniskirt maker overhyped by the Vogue Paris mafia and look at him now. And that was Saint Laurent, which was kind of a beast and a brand that exuded pride. Celine these days basically kneels in front of influencers and k-pop's 13-member bands and takes notes from Alo for their next move lol. There really isn't much suffering involved. Pieter should be fine... his crime is that he's kind of... really boring.

ME TOO! capitalising Hedi's name to match 2007 posts... still not sold.

I just don't think Mulier's sensibility would work for Celine that Hedi created. The Ralph Lauren guy makes much more sense.

 

[tourbillions]

looking at the archive i would love pilati to be in celine.

 

[Alquimista]

If Vacarello is the miniskirt maker, them Hedi is the (skinny) jeans maker, right?

All promoted by the parisian (Charlotte G, Lagerfeld) mafia.

Let's not be reductive, guys.

It’s quite interesting that all those discussions are rumors and news are still happening while officially, the man is still the Creative Director of the brand, social media content is uploaded, news about the launch of expanded fragrances related products are out, SAs and Store managers are talking…

I’m curious to know then when LVMH is going to release the news of his departure…. if he leaves Celine and if the news wouldn’t be about a reconsideration of his role at the company.

You might be on to something here. He’s too entangled with the brand. With him probably done up to SS25 and its collaterals LVMH might not want a repeat of what happened after his Saint Laurent exit. Lawsuits and all. Celine is basically the Hedi Slimane brand people are asking for in all but name. To the point that I won’t be surprised if they’ll retain him but announce a new “creative organization”.

 

[tourbillions]

its not that difficult for the studio to continue what he has been doing... doesnt need much creative directioning after a few seasons of the same.

I read somewhere that Peter Utz is staying at CELINE….

Somehow Hedi’s CELINE still in the talks in Paris….

I couldn’t upload the file and I don’t Know why…

Somehow Hedi’s CELINE still in the talks in Paris….

is it though?? jacquemus is probably more in the talks or courreges

 

[louis]

Well, I simply don’t think so…..

Still no report from his birthday: he hasn’t updated his DIARY since November 2023. I did really hope his birthday came with new information regarding his future projects….

Maybe they hired the guy from RL/Old Celine to operate as a head designer while Hedi remains as a CD. I can’t possibly think that he will touch royalties on fragrances without being tied with the brand.

And while we have had many reports of him leaving, I don’t believe that someone like Hedi would let a social media manager just post on IG without validating it before.

So he may still be involved with the brand.

Polo RL Spring 2024 seems to be the only RTW collection credited to Michael Rider BTW. It's literally called "Spring 2024 Ready to Wear Collection by Michael Rider". These almost feel opposite of Hedi's style, but it's also hard to fully judge his abilities because it's premium mass-market like a J Crew.

Reminds me of Raf at CK. He was ‘Chief Creative Officer’ while Pieter was ‘Creative Director’. Might work. I don’t know if he’ll let go of menswear but honestly where’s Lucas Ossendrijver now? He was with him at Dior, no?

Honestly because Hedi clothes at Celine are basics you could just shoot this in black and white, and make the clothes tighter, the models skinnier and this would fit.
