The End of an Era.
After a transformative seven-year leadership, renowned designer Hedi Slimane is stepping down from his role at Celine. The LVMH-owned fashion house announced it today, expressing gratitude for Slimane’s significant contributions to the brand’s growth and success.
Under Slimane’s creative leadership, Celine experienced a remarkable resurgence, solidifying its position as an iconic French couture house. He introduced new categories, including menswear and beauty, expanding the brand’s reach and appeal to a wider audience. Slimane’s distinctive aesthetic, characterized by a blend of rock-inspired elegance and minimalist sophistication, resonated with fashion enthusiasts around the world. Just weeks before his departure, Slimane unveiled his men’s SS25 collection in a 13-minute film titled ‘The Bright Young’. The collection featured a heavy emphasis on tweed, sparking speculation that he might be headed to Chanel, which is currently searching for a new creative director.
As the fashion world awaits to see who will fill the void left by Slimane at Celine, one thing is certain: his departure marks the end of an era.
