Hedi Slimane - Designer

Heidi's Celine was never one of the brands I "fangirled" but I still find this departure a shame.

It's a rare moment of optimism in this industry to see a brand raised in the quality of its clothes, creative cohesion, and name value, when new CDs coming in and totally botching brands has become the news of the day.

That being said, I hope (however unlikely it is) Slimane does go to some heritage brand being horribly mismanaged, like a Chanel or Dior. Yes, he'll undoubtedly leave the label high and dry whenever suits him, but with the state of many brands right now, his direction for even a few years couldn't hurt
 
My dream? He packs up shop. He’s close to retirement age now anyway, is trying to remake yet another brand in his image really an exciting venture at this point? He can photograph youths as a hobby or something. Or he can follow in Phoebe’s footsteps and do his own line by his own rules that’ll sell well to his many fans.
 
People, people — isn’t it obvious? There’s a house that’s rumored to be losing a creative director, and a creative director in search of a house. It’s kismet: Hedi Slimane for Maison Margiela!
 
I was looking at the last collection Hedi did for SL and honestly I'm getting excited at the idea of Chanel by HEDI. He can do glamour, he can embellish the clothes and keep it all practical.

Chanel is not a house of radical shapes, you just need to make a little something each season like Karl did.
