Hedi Slimane - Designer

Implants or wig, it still looks unnatural. Men his age just don't have that much hair, especially in this area.
His eyes always terrified me but they don't seem to bulge as much these days.

^ I know! I also look at Chris Martin's, and it seems you immediately tackle the hairline, instead of preserving it. I'm actually now strongly leaning towards makeup or a tattoo, I saw a girl on tiktok doing this and it was CRAZY. I'm just thinking that if you're going to go through the oh-so painful procedure of implanting hair, why go like this..

I love how this thread shifts into this discussion

Well, the theories about his hair are way more interesting than his clothes...

I think for baldness, it all comes down to genetics. We'd really need to examine what his parents, uncles, grandparents, etc. look like and how much hair they have to TRULY understand what's going on.

There's something to be said for aiming for a somewhat realistic outcome with things like this. But that's not what Hedi went for, whatever his methods.

Well for a while there semi-recently I also thought (apparently incorrectly) that Hedi was chubby these days, so at least we're not having that conversation.

I just know it’s in you to pull the yearbook photos of Hedi’s grandpa in rural Tunisia, when he was 18 and already beginning to bald.

I know it can be hard for a lot of guys, but I know a few balding (not bald) men who are so hot 😭 I feel like it's a similar humility thing like with crooked teeth.

 

[HigthaVandah]

It's a sign of testosterone sensitivity iirc...

watch hedi launch a triomphe branded rogaine bottle

they can be so hot! they just need to own it. I always liked either long hair or no hair at all, I honestly didn't even know it was a negative thing until I hooked up with a bald man years ago and my male co-workers wanted to see a picture so I showed them and I... did not hear the end of that! 'yOu CaN dO beTtEr!' 'AlL tHiS dRaMa fOr A bAlD mAn?!'.. and I was like 'I don't know if he's bald! I know he shaves his head..?!', and they were like 'yeah, because he's BALD!'. Anyway, I'm just nosy and if someone's lips look mysteriously plump, I WILL have the time to scroll all the way down to their 2016 pictures just to figure out if chin reduction was also included in the lip filler package, it's just my awful nature.

So, this is what I think Hedi could be doing, too...

I think that Celine is the hottest brand in the world.

It's approaching the status that Christian Dior enjoyed in the 00s... People need to run to the boutiques and buy as much as they possibly can...

I don’t know if it is, but definitely one of. It’s a feat to be at that level without that much A-list endorsements, no shows, no gimmicks. The most he did was wh*re himself out to Kpop but everyone these days does that.

 

[tourbillions]

they do a ton of physical marketing like ads all over. So im not sure how thats without endorsements. I think its still a pretty niche brand, you only know they made if vintage celine starts selling like vintage chanel. They are far from it.

Again seems most of their sales and hype are from logomania. If you ask any of the girls or boys wearing celine t shirt who the designer is and what the celine vibe is they will not know at all beyond the bra straps, t shirts and some bags.

And he's out...

"established itself as an iconic french couture house".. hope theyre not enduring themselves for this reach. I dont hate his work but i hope he goes to a brand that actually matches his ethos. somewhere more minimalist and about fine clothing. Him at loro or hermes for example makes sense.

If Celine, whose entire structure was changed to accommodate him, didn’t match his ethos…Then which brand that actually exist does?
He will never ever have that level of power…

IMO, he is out of fashion and will probably concentrate on photography or Art Direction.

 

[Kanzai]

Pls not Chanel, Hedi you can retire !!!

 

[LadyJunon]

OMG HE'S GOING TO CHANEL KNSRDFJVNDFU5

fortunately he can only man handle and hedi his way into desperate and directionless brands. At this point none is left i think... lanvin could have used him but hopefully theyre in better direction with copping. ferragamo maybe needs him... not sure if they make enough sales for his st tropez life. IF Burberry wanna be in the upper tier so bad, they should hire hedi. Im sure he will make it work.
