Is Hedi Slimane Returning to LVMH to Design a Signature Line?

Published December 22, 2007 by admin

Will Slimane be returning to the stable of designers at LVMH?

That’s the question being asked in this weeks DNR. The star designer, who left LVMH this past year as head designer of Dior Homme, has wanted his own label for a while. Now may be his chance to get it.

We think a Hedi Slimane label will do good business. The designer became legendary during his tenure at Dior Homme. His slim fitting aesthetic tapped into the collective conscious of many men from yound to old, as Lagerfeld went on a diet to fit into on of Slimane’s signature suits.

Slimane has brought fresh appeal to the menswear market and fashion week. His shows were the highlight event of the week, with everyone, including rock stars and celebrities clamoring to get in.

It will be interesting to see this develop. The designer is said to have maintained good ties with LVMH and it’s chairman Bernard Arnault.
