Veteran fashion designer Hedi Slimane has been named the new creative director of the edgy Paris brand Celine.
Slimane, who gained critical and commercial success as Saint Laurent's designer during 2012-2016, will replace outgoing British designer Phoebe Philo, whose departure was announced in November.
In a statement Sunday (21JAN2018), Celine parent company LVMH praised Slimane's ``talent and his remarkable ability to anticipate and express in a unique way the evolutions and desires of his age.''
French-born, Italian-Tunisian Slimane previously worked for LVMH as designer of Dior Homme during 2000-2007. He was credited with contributing to the influential skinny menswear aesthetic.
Calling Slimane ``one of the most talented designers of our time,'' LVMH head Bernard Arnault said he was ``particularly happy that Hedi is back within the LVMH Group.''
