AUTUMN/WINTER 2007
Season Coverage
Hedi Slimane was thrust into the mainstream design conversation during his tenor at Dior, which ended in 2007 with a collection widely regarded to have featured some of his best work – AW07 “Navigate.” His recent work at Celine sparked a divide within this conversation, as Hedi’s work has always adhered to a strict system that balances uniformity with rebellion, which has produced entirely predictable outcomes. We know to expect slim silhouettes partnered with generous usage of dark tones, which are paired elegantly to exaggerate the wearer’s form in the vein of the style of various Rock-n-Roll icons that influenced him as a young man.
