Hedi Leaving YSL Rumors Ramp Back Up

HediSlimane

January 13, 2016. 1 Comment

Just one week after the Kering-owned YSL dismissed rumors that designer Hedi Slimane was stepping down after just three years at the storied French luxury label, WWD reignited chatter today with an article today saying negotiations had broken down.  According to the article, YSL has already identified a front runner, Belgian-born Anthony Vaccarello, who has been the head creative for Versace’s Versus brand since last September. In response to queries from WWD, the label said it doesn’t comment on rumors.

Just yesterday, YSL announced on Twitter that on January 24h the label would show its men’s collection for the first time in Slimane’s adopted city, Los Angeles. Titled “Saint Laurent at the Palladium,” the event according to press will be a tribute to the Los Angeles rock scene, which has greatly inspired and informed Slimane’s designs.

The label also Tweeted a news article (below)  highlighting Slimane as winning a menswear first-place ranking for the fifth year in a row by the Journal du Textiles, an odd item to highlight for a company supposedly preparing to replace Slimane.

Slimane’s departure would be a big loss for YSL. While criticized by some fashion purists for his rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic, luxury customers have responded enthusiastically with the label’s sales doubling in his first two years at the brand.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
