The Maison Yves Saint Laurent confirmed Hedi Slimane’s departure via press release, stating that, “at the end of a four-year mission, which has led to the complete repositioning of the brand, the Maison Yves Saint Laurent announces the departure of Hedi Slimane as its creative and image director.”
François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of Kering, added: “What Yves Saint Laurent has achieved over the past four years represents a unique chapter in the history of the house. I am very grateful to Hedi Slimane, and the whole Yves Saint Laurent team, for having set the path that the house has successfully embraced, and which will grant longevity to this legendary brand.”
We can only be very admirative of Hedi Slimane unique work for Saint Laurent, he has perfectly mixed the ’70s glitter, leather, velvet, and midi-skirted glam-rock style during the fashion show in L.A, and in Paris, he presented the almost opposite: an extreme, short-skirted, poufed, pinnacle-shouldered exaggeration of the early-’80s glamour of Yves Saint Laurent’s haute couture.
Like Yves Saint Laurent, Hedi Slimane instinctively gets what girls young and not-so-young want.
