Why should Hedi give her the privilege to come (not a right) to the show if her review is off mark and disrespectful? Critics said Saint Laurent was gonna tank just like they’re doing to Dave Chapelle’s new Netflix special. There is an agenda within the media and special snowflakes of this new generation. Instead of unpacking what Hedi is doing, they just choose a lazy angle of berating Hedi’s collections for being too skinny, too white, not experimental enough.

That was only part of it. Critics though that it seemed like derivative recycling of looks from rock n roll past, and they predicted (correctly) that instead of building on YSL lineage, he would merely repackage Brand Hedi under the YSL name. He's managed to prove critics wrong about his marketing skills, but his creative direction and long-term contributions to a brand are still very questionable. He seems to leave houses with an identity crisis as he takes Brand Hedi somewhere new after they sacrificed their lineage for him to bring them quick money.

I don't believe in brand/house lineages and identities anymore. Karl said it right, designers are like football players being traded left and right. This era is all about the designer and less on the brand.

Hedi pays respect to the past, most people who make rash snap judgements don't have the knowledge of what is in the brand's archive. Hedi also didn't make an effort to spell it out, at Saint Laurent, because frankly that's corny and the people who are actually the customers don't care enough. Hedi's team is doing it a lot more for Celine and having shit explained to you feels corny, at least to me.

I think it is a supply and demand problem. The people actually buying shit couldn't care about heritage or lineage. If the consumers stopped buying, you bet Hedi's ass is going to have to try a new way to make that profit for them. It's the people who appreciate from afar that will get shafted.

Karl was right, but he also had respect for houses, which is why his multiple CD roles were visually distinct.

Don't you see why they gave Hedi Celine? They gave him one of their smaller houses because they new he would upend it and eventually leave it rudderless trying to compete with whatever his new home ends up being.

[Anonymous No.14624946]

>>14624734

I hear how Hedi's stuff looks all the same, but to me it is difficult to see. I dislike his more experimental stuff at Dior Homme, and I don't think any of it would match well to his Saint Laurent direction. You can just look at the Navigate combat boots and compare them to fw13 Rangers and fw19 Rangers at Celine. All 3 share commonalities in Hedi's philosophy for footwear (elongated, low toe box, slim), but they all give off a different vibe.

Just speculating why they gave Celine to Hedi (since only insiders will know the full truth), it was an empty house with tons of opportunities and possibilities open. LVMH was not satisfied with how the trajectory of Celine is at, and is open to the idea of revamping it. Hedi has a penchant of wanting full control over all aspects of the brand. Therefore, Celine is a perfect fit. It is a smaller house, but I feel like LVMH has an expectation that under Hedi it will not be staying as a smaller house.

fw19 rangers is sort of an in-between where it shares some of the simplistic minimalistic vibe Hedi was going for at Saint Laurent, but he isn't as constrained to having it be very classical. This pair has a hidden side zip for ease of taking it on and off, and a rubber outsole (both with functionality in mind over style). Overall giving it a more modern vibe to me.

There's a difference between blatantly biased journalism, and a proper insightful, reporting media. Journalism means nothing, especially in fashion - and, being an entitled journalist doesn't give you the right to mantle your high horse, and pretend that attending a show isn't a privilege, but a right for the "free press". She had it coming. Fast more, fatty.

Caffeine. French-Italian autism, and mass.

>Speaking for the first time about his upbringing, Slimane stated that he was brought up in the church: "My mother also raised me as a Christian, and even if I never talk about it, my faith, which was never imposed upon me, is really important in my life. It is present in the way I do things, or care about things. It gives me a sense of comfort, and strength."

That's a false equivalence. A museum curator is a trained professional, a specialist. Someone responsible for ensuring the quality control, care, and display of items of cultural importance in cultural institutions. A fashion journalist is not a trained professional, nor a specialist. And the majority routinely interject their biased opinions into what are supposed to be analytic pieces, then go onto belittling the person of interest, while sitting on a throne of pretentiousness.

Media is required - I never badmouthed media. Where are you getting this from? In that same post, I said there is a difference between insight, reporting media, and yellow press. Yellow press, on the other hand, is rubbish, and shouldn't be held up in the same light as other forms of serious media. Once more, the journalist in mention, purely slandered Hedi Slimane - then was shocked, when the same person she slandered, decided to not allow her into his shows. You can't shit talk people under the guise of "journalism", and "free press". People need to be held accountable for their actions, especially yellow press journalists.

[Anonymous No.14629148]

When I really look past the superficial, it is obvious how Hedi had a different general message for each of the three brands. Saint Laurent definitely feels more rooted into reality/there is more of an attempt for historical accuracy. Basics done well.

Dior Homme has that experimental vibe that people can interpret easier as "fashion". A lot of "fantasy" in the looks. Pros and cons. Pros is that it is more magical and may evoke more emotions, but the cons is that it makes you look like a try hard in real life. In my opinion it is hard to not look cringe in the eyes of normies.

Celine is sort of an in-between. For fw19 it really looks like Hedi is taking things rooted in the past but mix and matching things that people didn't wear together in the past to create something new fresh and more modern.

There's far, fare more to Hedi Slimane than YSL. You know, maybe if you spent more time into researching someone who's "so overrated", instead of spewing your namefag opinions, you wouldn't embarrass yourself.

It is easy to fix it up, just get some sandpaper (600) then move up to 1500. Then get some black leather dye to dye it back, polish and it will become more presentable. But my style is pretty clean so I wouldn't be able to tolerate those scratches.

[Anonymous No.14632510]

to each their own really, but I really like the luxe aspect of fw13 so I keep my relatively presentable. Also mine at fw13 so hard to find another fw13 pair to replace. If it was easy to find replacement pairs that were up to my standards, then I could se myself beating it up then replacing it when worn to death. I also keep mine with a leather sole to keep it being more luxe (unlike this pic).

Been thinking more and more about fw19 Celine. Only issue I have with it is that it is a bit on the "experimental" vibe for me. Whereas currently my wardrobe isn't that experimental at all. It just doesn't have that space for it. I don't want to have genres that don't mesh easily together like one day wearing Rick Owens and next day wearing Thom Browne.

Ss19 is not bad to incorporate into my wardrobe. It seems relatively classical still. The experimental edges are toned down compared to fw19. I acknowledge it is barely experimental (especially when you compare it to his Dior stuff), but currently my stuff is pretty "basic".

>I feel like the "cult classic"* status that his Dior Homme work retained during 2007-12 went to his head a bit and now he just goes with the flow, instead of directing it

It would depend on what the next generation thinks is cool. The Dior Homme stuff is very fashion in how it is more than just clothes. There is that extra flair that gives someone that they can become more than who they are. They also tended to be quite loud as a result and easily identifiable.

The Saint Laurent stuff is much more grounded into reality. Everything feels real and more authentic. Very detailed and precise clothing disguised as normal clothes. The beauty is a lot more subtle. Can be seen as basics done well. Instead of having the clothes do the talking, it takes a step back and lets the wearer shine more.

I feel like he was going with the flow with experimental/conceptual fashion until he realized how "unreal" it is. That's the moment he started rejecting the the more fantastical and choosing something that is more grounded. One reason I suspect is because of how much more effortless it looks in comparison to conceptual fashion. He also really likes dressing the youth, and more and more youth are into vintage and cosplaying the past instead of cosplaying some conceptual fashion stuff. I also think it was his constraint he set for himself at Saint Laurent. The "house code" is to be a bit more classical.

Now at Celine, I feel like he is introducing more experimental energy into his clothing. He isn't going back into Dior Homme to create super new ideas, but he also isn't as focused on historical accuracy as when he was at Saint Laurent. Fw19 is anchored in the past, but it seems like the pieces are mix and matched in a way that is different from the past. People from the past didn't exactly wear the items like how Hedi styled them. I feel like Celine can go horribly wrong when people style the pieces wrong. They can totally turn it from modern looking into dad cosplay.

Also I feel like "Cult Classic" means very little at the end of the day realistically. If it isn't making money, it doesn't matter. It really only matters to people who are invested in history. Majority of people nowadays are not interested in dressing like Dior Homme.

It's all about money for these corporations. Giving people what they want will get you money. Hedi's high value is precisely that. He knows what people want, sometimes even before they know that they want it, and presents it in an easily digestible format that attracts customers. He might not have been the first to push "bourgeoise", but he is able to package the idea so that it reaches the masses. I think fast fashion is copying fw19 women's boots as we speak. In that way, I do feel like he's directing it still.

they are fucking harness boots. That's what they are. Not all wyatts have harnesses, they are not harness boots. You wear wyatt harness boots? You are wearing harness boots. Not dress boots.

So? They are still harness boots. The entire profile is distorted becaues of the harness. You can make the toe box as sleek as you want, but you are still stapling on a harness strap to them, they are harness boots.

yes, those are harness boots with a chunkier sole

I see, so anything with a harness to you will amount to nothing more than just being a harness boot. That's a pretty superficial way of looking at things.

yes, That's exactly my opinion. The boot in your pic rel is a harness boot, it's just a really flimsy abstract shaped harness boot. But a harness boot none the less. The presence of a Harness, collapses it into being a Harness Boot. A Wyatt boot (without the harness), is simply a Boot.

>And now, three new colognes are set to join the olfactive family. "I'm very attached to this cologne project," Hedi told Fashionlines. "It's very personal, and I'm very happy about it because it is part of the long, classical French tradition in the spirit of the 18th century." Eau Noire, Cologne Blanche, and Bois d'Argent, with their short, essential and atonal formulas, express a new masculinity based on mindset, line and allure and reflect the esprit of the Dior Homme atelier at 40, rue François 1er. Thus, they may be worn as much by women as by men.

Interesting how Hedi describes those 3 colognes having short, essential, and atonal formulas.

a part of me is nervous about the upcoming Celine fragrances. Releasing 11 in the collection is definitely something that is suspicious to me. Because of his interviews talking about them, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that it isn't purely a cash grab. I sort of understand why he has to pump out 11 since Chanel and Dior both have a lot of fragrances in their higher end line. Hedi is positioning Celine there. Priced higher than Dior but less than Chanel.

>Slimane was born in Paris and grew up in the Buttes-Chaumont district. His father, who is Tunisian and a retired accountant, had been a boxer in Bordeaux (poids léger, of course), and he met Hedi’s mother, an Italian, when she was working as a coat-check girl in a club in Saint Germain des Près. (“He won her over with a great dance,” Slimane told me.) He hardly keeps in touch with them. In his early teens, he spent vacations with an uncle who lived in Geneva and hung out with a “free-spirited” cousin and her brother, “who was quite the opposite,” Slimane said. “Something like the Patrick Bateman character in ‘American Psycho.’ I was stuck between indie kids and call girls, squats and palace hotels.”

>“I don’t like the ladders,” Slimane said. “They create a tension within the space. I’d rather have the stages kept free.”

>"Hedi Slimane can’t drive. He’d like to learn how, but he can’t find the time."

>"Tom Ford is not my cup of tea. I don’t respect him, not at all. He is not a designer. He is a marketing man.”

He's quarter-Tunisian, and Tunisia is in Africa, so technically, yes? But, I think the French, and Italian cancels out Hedi Slimane's nigga pass

The same could be said for Slimane.

Not only is Hedi a designer, he can also market his shit well. But what's really cool is that thankfully he doesn't need to cater to everyone. It either clicks with you or not.

His footwear philosophy just too beautiful. His fragrances are also amazing. His design philosophy for his stuff that is designed to "last" just speaks to me.

Wrong. Slimane has never appealed to the masses. He's infamous for his attitudes, and non-compromise nature. He's carved out his own niche, and delivers solely to his niche, while also keeping them on their toes, instead of constantly pandering. He doesn't have a team of marketers who lurk social media for latest trends, or whatever the fuck. Hedi Slimane doesn't fuck around, none of that shit.

There is no compromise with Hedi Slimane. Hedi Slimane does not care for PR, or journalism, or anything of that sort. Hedi Slimane does what he wants, what he feels is right - it's Slimane's way, or the highway.

How tall is Hedi Slimane?

probably around 6 feet

Which is interesting why people argue against him staying so hyper focused when other designers like Carol Christian Poell gets a pass for releasing the same shit again and again in different colour ways.

Here's Hedi Slimane with David Bowie. Take into account that Hedi Slimane's head is looking downward, but David Bowie is 5'10-ish, and still seems to be head-to-head somewhat with Hedi Slimane. So, I'd argue Hedi's somewhere between 5'10-6'0.

Never understood the general animosity towards Hedi Slimane. From what I remember, he was fairly loved while at Dior Homme, but ever since Saint Laurent, people just shit on him. What gives? Even at Celine, people are bitching, genuinely bitching, over an accent mark which was never there to begin with.

I think it is a combination of people expecting Hedi to do one thing then getting butt hurt he isn't doing what they want him to do, and how they're just sheep listening to whatever the fashion "critics" are saying. They blindly believe in these "authorities", and go with the narrative without their own critical thinking.

They're also very disconnected with the reality of what fashion houses really stand for nowadays. Gone are the days of tradition in the sense of the designer being the brand's founder. It really is a game of musical chairs where designers switch from house to house. The brand now are the actual designers. Helmut Lang was no longer Helmut Lang the moment he left his brand.

The universal truth is nothing speaks louder than your wallet. Raf Simons' Calvin Klein bombed no matter how much "praise" it got. Fashion is more complex than art. It is something that needs to be bought, and not only praised from afar, in order to survive. The people who whine the loudest really don't matter to the brands because they weren't the core audience anyways. I think overall controversy is good for Hedi, and people are so predictably fickle. So many people hated on Saint Laurent in the beginning now they're buying into it. The same will happen to Celine.

I empathize with people being upset that their Céline is gone. It's part of the grieving process of loss. Only thing I have issue with is them not realizing that Céline was gone the moment Phoebe stepped down. Céline was always Phoebe anyways and wasn't part of the brand "heritage".

I still don't really get why almost everything from calvin raf just sat for months. Was it really that unappealing? The prices just way too much even for his fans?
