The creative director is leaving his position after a seven-year tenure.
ollowing a wave of exits in the fashion industry, Hedi Slimane is officially leaving Celine after a remarkable seven-year run that truly transformed the brand.
Since taking the helm in February 2018, Slimane has been the creative genius behind Celine, infusing it with a fresh, modern vibe while honoring its Parisian roots. His leadership has seen sales skyrocket, solidifying Celine’s status as a major player in luxury fashion. Notably, he introduced menswear and ventured into high perfume and beauty.
Now that Slimane is on his way out, everyone’s buzzing about what he’ll do next. His recent collections, often showcased through captivating films rather than traditional runway presentations, have sparked discussions about his potential future roles. With whispers of a possible appointment at Chanel—currently in search of new creative leadership—attention will undoubtedly turn to where Slimane lands next.
As the fashion world processes Slimane’s departure, his impact at Celine is undeniable. He’s left the brand with a strong foundation, and it’ll be interesting to see where he lands next.
