Celine and Hedi Slimane are parting ways after a fruitful, seven-year collaboration.
Celine parent LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton announced his departure in a brief statement.
“Under his creative and artistic direction, Celine has experienced exceptional growth and established itself as an iconic French couture house,” it said.
“The holistic vision of Hedi Slimane, his exigence and rigor have made it possible to redefine the codes of Celine whilst reaffirming its feminine and Parisian roots,” it continued. “He has also remarkably enriched new territories for the maison such as the men’s silhouette, couture and haute parfumerie. The extraordinary journey taken together over the last seven years has made Celine a house with a formidable foundation for the future.”
Celine declined further comment, including on its succession plan.
