    Hedi Slimane Article







    Hedi Slimane Might Launch His Own Line



    Hedi Slimane is mulling over just how he'll make his fashion
    comeback. When WWD asked if he'd return to fashion, the designer
    replied, "Of course. But it has to be right, the right project." And
    that project could be the launch of his own line.



    WWD reports:



    Slimane ? said he needed time to regroup after leaving Dior Homme last year.
    "I
    didn't want to deal with that for a while, but now [over the last] six
    months I'm considering options," Slimane said, adding that he has held
    talks with others about starting his own label. But the designer went
    no further in terms of details. "It's a secret," he laughed.



    After Slimane left Dior Homme last year, he shot a rock-and-roll
    photography book called Rock Diary, which will be released in the U.S.
    and Japan this month. For the book he shot indie bands like the White
    Stripes, the Libertines, and Franz Ferdinand. He also plucked
    concertgoers from last summer's Benicàssim rock festival and shot them
    in his studio. Now, could you imagine if you bumped into Slimane at
    this thing and he asked to take you back to his studio so he could take
    your picture?! Death might have become us, especially since it's just
    about impossible to look good at those big, sweaty summer festivals.

      He looks like he's spent hundreds of hours in front of a mirror perfecting that expression.

            Could it be that we need to give KVA a break? I confess to having bought a couple of pieces from SS08 and they are good solid pieces.

              Oh man he always does that silly "puppy dog" expression, it's slightly disturbing for someone he's age...

              On the other hand, really looking forward to his new project. Didn't he sign a deal with the owners of Gucci before for a clothing line?

                  Just checked DH AW09 at the shop in Paris, just as boring as SS08 was. Well sure the collection is mainly dark and black, but in terms of creation there is nothing new there, that's for sure ! Looks like something Slimane could have done 4 years ago, except it lacks inspiration and soul. KVA copies Slimane. Boring.



                  About Hedi, I was wondering why is he taking so long to come back to tailoring. Makes us customers feel like he actually doesn't give a shit about it. Plus, shouldn't he start needing money now, after 2 years of doing nothing (I mean who gives a fuck about his pictures or his rock friends) ? [^o)]

                      He probably has a non-competition clause in his contract from Dior Homme. It is pretty standard to have designers sign contracts that they cannot make a new label for a few years if they leave the fashion house or can't do womens/mens wear for a few years if they leave. I think this is one of the reasons Tom Ford has not done a Womens line yet is that he has a non-compete contract that did not allow him to do women's wear for a few years after leaving his label. Also Hedi makes a good amount on his art and books and does not need the money that bad after only two years off.
