Style When Hedi Slimane a year ago, was appointed as new artistic director of fashion house Celine, he announced immediately, also for men designs. Last night he suggested that first men’s collection of the brand in Paris and as expected there were few surprises and novelties for all to see on the catwalk.
Rock-n-roll, sexy and very sleek, with invariably references to the grunge of the 90’s. That is just about the style of Hedi Slimane in a single sentence defined. It was he who, when still for Dior – the first ultrastrakke trousers for men presented, with all the consequences. Karl Lagerfeld, designer at Chanel and Fendi, was to say that even 41 pounds in the skinny on Slimane fit.
Then it was that narrow silhouette for men innovative, meanwhile, is that no longer the case. Nevertheless, he repeated his trick yesterday, and he presented virtually the same for Celine as what he previously designed for Dior and Saint Laurent. Everything is as skinny as possible, both trousers as bovenstukken. Preferably, also worn by as lean as possible guys. With here and there the leopard print, leather and glass.
For the exact same reason – too predictable and nothing new, was his first women collection for Celine in september all the ground in drilled and that is the case again now. “He keeps no account with the brand of Celine, and he designs just the same as always. He is so terribly self-centered,” according to someone on Instagram.
Nevertheless, there are also a few enthusiastic voices. Because he is one of the only designers goes against the current streetweartrend and not cargo pants and sneakers presents on the catwalk. On the one hand, of course, a brave choice, already had it all something more interesting.
