I never thought this would happen. Absent from the fashion industry since 2007 when he left Dior Homme, genius Hedi Slimane returns to fashion and becomes Yves Saint Laurent's "creative and image director". He "will take on artistic responsibility for the brand and all the collections," said a joint statement from Saint Laurent and its parent company, the French luxury giant PPR at the latest Paris Fashion Week.
The surprise comes after rumours that Stefano Pilati wasn't doing a good job, even prompting Pierre Bergé to make nasty comments about the Italian designer's work.
Good luck Hedi and glad to have you back !
