As a gamer who has spent countless hours navigating the virtual worlds of fashion, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and anticipation with the news of Hedi Slimane‘s departure from Celine. Much like when my character levels up and moves on to new adventures, Slimane’s exit signals a fresh start for the iconic French luxury house.
On Wednesday morning, LVMH officially announced that Hedi Slimane, the creative director of Celine, was leaving his position after seven years in charge of the prestigious French luxury brand. Previously, Slimane had held positions at Dior Homme and Saint Laurent before taking over from Phoebe Philo who departed in 2018.
According to a statement made to WWD, under HIS leadership, Celine has seen exceptional growth and become recognized as a renowned French couture house, symbolizing its iconic status. On Wednesday morning, Celine shared on Instagram stories that Michael Rider, previously the creative director of Polo Ralph Lauren, is now the new creative director for our house.
As a gamer speaking about fashion, I can share that, according to Business of Fashion, Slimane is reported to have skyrocketed the brand’s revenue to an astounding €2.5B EUR, shattering previous records and making history for the brand. Furthermore, this visionary designer spearheaded several rebranding efforts, such as eliminating the accent mark and “Paris” from the house’s name.
Starting from early 2024, there has been a lot of talk about the possibility of Slimane leaving LVMH. A source shared with BoF that contract discussions between him and LVMH have been challenging due to certain contentious issues. Just a week after presenting Celine’s SS25 show in Paris, this news about his departure surfaced.
