Always wanted him at Armani, but he lacks the Italian touch, and I’m not convinced he could do fabrics as rich. It would be crazy as he’ll likely (and rightfully) gut the diffusion lines. Gutting EA/AX is crazier than putting him at Chanel.

Unfortunate to admit it, but that dreaded curse of aging hacks seems an unavoidable curse for these once leading creative. The likes of Armani/Yohji/Rei really have nothing left to give but the dreaded nostalgia.

Nostalgia and devoted brand loyalty to Gio still working, are the only thinnest of reasons why this brand is still cherished creatively. Current-day Armani mainline and Privé are painful to behold: Clownishly and at the same time, matronly proportioned; hideous, infantile color-palette and even worse prints; dated silhouettes; and just too bloated of showings… Nevermind the budget-level campaigns that plague the brand season to season now— nor how utterly pointless Emporio has become, while A/X was never even a creative contender even in its inception, so it doesn’t count as Armani. Except for the beauty and fragrance lines, it’s a moldy brand that’s in desperate need of creative revision. Hedi has a lot more in common with the Armani aesthetic than many would consider; like Armani at his best, Hedi’s best brand of subtle, quiet fashion revolution really is in all the details— and cuts, construction and fit, and everything looked so luxurious without any strain. He could revive that creative decay at the brand without relying on nostalgia— and no doubt, make the brand even more profitable with his modern vision. He has yet to stumble.

Hedi insatlled at Armani would be heaven.

I can see Hedi working at Armani as a consultant, not a creative director.
Armani as a business is the same size as Celine and Saint Laurent when he left but when Giorgio is going to leave, they will face a problem as he has many lines to consolidate.

And with Armani, there’s the family that will probably inherit from some stakes of the brand. Ok, L’Oreal will probably buy the brand but Armani may also set up things for his niece to have a decision making power at the company.

Isn't the difference between image consultant and creative director just tenure length? Especially with Hedi's approach?

Karl was such a stan

They are already starting to wipe instagram. All the videos are gone except the last few ones. Michael is here to clean!

I’m sad

 

[Grets]

Youtube is scrubbed too

 

[NoInvite]

All campaigns are removed

 

[HigthaVandah]

Maybe this means we'll see early images of Hedi's campaign work for another house soon. Wishful thinking, I know.

In spirit he is not wrong.
I think Hedi changed the way men dresses the same way Armani did.
He defined the suit or at least the professional allure for men in the 2000s.

Maybe he can work as a Photographer like he did for Prada years ago…

 

[Kimihiro]

I was hoping they wouldn’t delete it all. But then I guess when you have someone like Hedi with the rights you have to.

 

[blueorchid]

It's so bizarre the way they wipe everything... like... (this is just the inner archivist in me cringing)

 

[Xone]

the latest men video is gone....wtf

 

[Alquimista]

Celine instagram page is so neat. It's always a pleasure to see a new post show up.
