Hedi Slimane exits Celine

At the time, Celine’s sales were close to EUR1 billion. Slimane managed the intro of Celine scents in 2019, and makeup (originally in the type of a lipstick line) is slated to follow this autumn.

“Under his innovative and artistic instructions, Celine has actually experienced outstanding development and established itself as an iconic French couture home,” Celine claimed in a statement on Wednesday. “The extraordinary trip taken with each other over the last 7 years has made Celine a home with an awesome structure for the future.” No name of a follower has actually been announced.

In December 2022, Slimane picked Los Angeles– the city where he lived and worked as Saint Laurent’s innovative director– for his first physical path since the pandemic titled “Age of Indieness”. “If Slimane is ever mosting likely to step out with an eponymous brand, this timeless collection would definitely be its basis,” wrote Style Business’s Christina Binkley.

Slimane came to be creative, creative and picture director of Celine in February 2018, after Phoebe Philo’s departure. He was formerly imaginative director of menswear at Yves Saint Laurent up until 2000, when he joined Dior Homme. This is where he produced the skinny silhouette that famously prompted Karl Lagerfeld to go on a diet plan. Slimane left Dior in 2007 and went back to Yves Saint Laurent in 2012 as creative supervisor, where he cut “Yves” from the name promptly before his first program. He left in 2016.

Still standing free from the fashion schedule, in very early September, he revealed his guys’s SS25 collection in the format of a 13-minute film that he directed titled ‘The Brilliant Youthful’. This past weekend, throughout Paris Style Week, he also launched an SS25 movie titled Un Été français. The developer sent a tweed-heavy collection, prompting commentators to believe he’s leaving for Chanel, which has yet to assign a brand-new developer.

Having actually avoided the press from his start at the firm, Slimane essentially stopped doing real-time paths after the pandemic, also as other designers in the LVMH stable returned to routine programs. He declined from public view, his amalgam of Parisienne haute bourgeoisie and Los Angeles rocker glam continued to be an influential vision.

“Celine remains to make solid progress,” stated Arnault during the LVMH annual general meeting in April. “Celine is trendy, hip, sexy style for youths also if the prices are what they are, and it works. I remained in Japan last week with Delphine [Arnault] I can see that before the Celine shops, there was an incredible line, up to two hours.”

“Under his creative and creative instructions, Celine has experienced exceptional development and established itself as an iconic French couture residence,” Celine claimed in a declaration on Wednesday. Slimane came to be imaginative, creative and photo supervisor of Celine in February 2018, after Phoebe Philo’s separation. Slimane looked after the intro of Celine fragrances in 2019, and makeup (initially in the kind of a lipstick line) is slated to follow this autumn.
