So many verbal puns possible and they’re all swirling around the news that Hedi Slimane is out the door at Dior Homme.
The man who launched a single trend –tight, low-slung jeans, white shirt and black skinny tie under a small black jacket – has not had his contract renewed.
This is somewhat of a shock and a non-shock as word circulated since last July that Hedi wanted women’s wear and wasn’t getting it. But the bad blood between him and his bosses must be bad because the announcement today didn’t mention Hedi by name. All it did was announce his replacement, the talented Kris van Assche, who we don’t hate, but…
Really.
When was the last time a men’s designer actually “created” an entire trend. The whole Williamsburg pseudo poser rocker chic is all Hedi’s. And he recently expanded his creative endeavors into photography, books, video installations and even furniture design.
Surely there’s a reason they didn’t give him women’s wear, but we can’t think what it could be.
