HIGHLY doubt it

Those skinny jeans though! LMAO

HIGHLY doubt it

The recent GQ article confirmed it, not that it was needed really; none of these photos of Hedi have ever been posted elsewhere.

i don't remember it was ever confirmed its his account as the last GQ article stated assumed!! ...means not confirmed !!

GQ ......an Instagram account called Hedi Slimane Homme came online. The first post recapped Slimane’s “Black Tie” collection for Yves Saint Laurent in 1999, when the young designer burst on the scene with a virile vision of men’s style that was hardcore but also tender, like the rock ’n’ rollers he documented in graffiti-covered clubs. The account—widely assumed to be run by Slimane or someone close to him—has also published archival images from Slimane’s ........

Interesting… I just hope he has better things to do than posting on insta. He is literally the last person in the industry I respect. Well, Phoebe, Tom and Miuccia too.

Taking photos that he plans to post…
His Main account seems still active.

The first post from that homme fan IG account includes a pretty big factual error. His last YSL rive gauche collection was for fall winter 2000, not 1999. February 1999 he would have presented his first for the house as he did only 3 seasons then.

The real Hedi (nor anyone close to him) would never be so confused.

His official ig and the homme account posted the same story referencing the homme account's post about the Dior bee.

Love how he tagged himself as a #hediboy

Is he not, tautologically, the Hediboy? The Hedi-est of the boys?

🚫Please no🚫 I don't want to listen to everyone moan about how modern Hedi isn't Lang-y enough for Lang.

 

[jeanclaude]

Current Hedi isn´t Lang enough for Lang...just saying! 😁

He is 40 years older than your average Hediboy though 😎

The average mental age of adults was found to be 13 yrs and not 16 yrs as previously tested........just saying :-)

There's no way Hedi would head to Helmut Lang, his ego is not skinny as his works. That label has become a mess atp, definitely no longer in the same league as brands like Dries or Rick Owens.

I’m curious, if he want to operate his own brand, what would it be like? Unlike Philo, there are not many designers/brands that ripping off his works as for now, so I think it would definitely turn heads if he came back with his namesake label.

 

[Kimihiro]

I doubt Helmut Lang has enough infrastructure and capital to support Hedi’s vision. I’m thinking he has to build an atelier from scratch, not to mention those marble stores aren’t cheap.

If Fast Retail (the parent company behind Helmut Lang and Uniqlo) did not succeed in sustaining their partnership with Jil Sander due to supposed too high demands on quality, then how would there ever be foundation to negotiate with Slimane on anything?

As much as I would love to see a Hedi Slimane collab with Uniqlo along the lines of +J by Jil Sander, it‘s as unlikely to happen from either side - Mr. Yanai not wanting to provide the concessions (both artistically and regarding the payroll) a designer like Hedi Slimane would call for, but also Hedi never stating to be interested in working on a different tier than high-end luxury for historic maisons.
