why do they use a picture from like decades ago? 😅
Add to that the fact that he talks about himself...I hate when journalists do that! You are not the subject of the article, Imran!!But he did him no justice the title sounds promising but then fails deeply by not showing this other side of Hedi and then he proceeds to double down to agree why it makes sense that Hedi´s way of working is not in tune with the times. LOL
Cheap and no journalistic integrity, we also don't need a bio of hedi´s past accomplishments as filler to the beef up the word count.
Don’t include me. I want him back…No one wants Tisci in 2024. He belongs to another era.
But who cares when Celine is a 2.5 billion euro brand, while Loewe and Jacquemus (the two other brands Imran focuses on and compares to Hedi's Celine) earn a small fraction of that?"For better or worse, consumer-facing fashion shows, social media and cultural marketing that reaches a diverse, global audience have become part of a creative director’s job. None of these have been a priority for Hedi."
Lol true, he looks way more plump these days. 2018 and he was already like thiswhy do they use a picture from like decades ago? 😅
I really despise how fashion media keeps pushing for designers to turn into social media influencers. It's almost so they can live vicariously through them or recreate their heyday of the rockstar designer (that they can exploit for their magazines).It’s still not certain that Hedi is leaving Celine, but his departure would be a huge loss for LVMH. There’s no doubt he is an arch perfectionist, and his execution (including this week’s perfume launch and campaign) are always impeccable. But his perfectionism and his approach to communications are not a great fit for the way the fashion world is moving: real-time, digital, raw and open.
I think the suits at LVMH and elsewhere share the view of the majority here. What Imran wants may be true for smaller brands but for the real powerhouses of the fashion industry, it is not needed. Dior, LV, Celine, Prada, Chanel, etc do not need their CDs to post every little detail about their lives on social media, they will sell regardless. The customers of these brands likely don't even know or care who the CD is, they just want to be seen in the brand.As @Lola701 said, I don't care how many followers a designer has, what matters is the quality of the product and the strength of vision. And I'd say that's how the majority of actual consumers feel too, despite all the comments and likes.
Also, the so-called transparency and relatability from designers that Imran craves is all part of a marketing schtick to sell more products.
Im walking!! like pick up a pen and stop playing beefcake hunter tiscitisci for celine pls
If anything to steal the spotlight and attention because BOF love to write unflattering news on KERING/Gucci lolThis Hedi story had been the front page of BOF this weekend. Are they are using it to deflect from the real tragedy that is Kerring and Gucci?
