Hedi Slimane - Designer, Creative Director of Celine

If the captions are to believed, this video and the campaign were shot this month. I can't see Hedi hanging around and working with the knowledge that he is to be imminently replaced.

If Hedi leaves, it’s because he wants it. So he can be totally detached from it.
Plus he will probably continue to receive royalties for the use of his visuals (and probably fragrances).

Hedi is clearly targeting CHANEL: who knows….

But how would he mutilate the name? “CHNL”? “XANEL”? Maybe add random diacritics this time — “ÇĦÅÑËŁ”?

Not to mention that alleged moving back to Paris…

What brought him back to Paris? I thought it was difficult getting him out of St Tropez?

All whispers. Who knows maybe someone could enlighten us… apparently he’s been seen multiple times in Paris lately.

He has a better hairline nowadays, no? 😏

I think Hedi lives in areas of Paris where people aren’t simply to photograph him….
So likely a neighborhood he knows.


But back to the Hedi/Chanel conversation. I truly believe (and I’m maybe naive about it) that if Hedi indeed leaves Celine, is to be out of fashion design.

Chanel is still the ultimate job in fashion because it’s the most important and iconic fashion brand in the world. But the approach of Hedi and his frustration has always been about having a 360 kind of vision.

He has achieved what he wanted all those years at Celine.

For me, when you are that talented and ambitious, this is the level of « control » you aspire to. For those who are really designers at heart, they can go on and do something else and be focused on design.

For me Hedi is really an Art Director at heart.

Celine is the dream he created for himself.
I wonder if anything higher exists.

I think it’s a CN ban.
And, it’s still going. No CN publication is reporting on anything related to Hedi.

Thanks @Lola701 ...and why it happened in the first place?...feud with Anna W or something?
