Hedi Slimane's Celine AW 24/25 collection felt like a Chanel audition.

Interesting! The last Celine collection I actually thought was Chanel at first glance... so that would make a lot of sense.

Ohh yes so similar!!

Chanel has no option but to be somewhat predictable. The loyal clients are wealthy but not particularly fashion-forward (nor artistically invested.) Hedi and his creative team will understand the assignment.

I agree! It's appeal is the heritage, history and mythology. A creative team would have to know how to interpret that.

Mary, Chanel is priced themselves so high, that it’s going to be hard for anyone to make Chanel great again😝 the fabrics that they were lately using, are mostly synthetic mix. And that’s I don’t think designer’s choice, that’s bottom line profit, fitting in a proposed budget, so even designs are great, if Chanel continue choose bad quality fabrics, it’s not going to work. I used to love Chanel. But I don’t think any other brand over saturated preloved market, as Chanel. Chanel don’t really keep value anymore. Maybe some very rare or so “right now” items. Yes VV era Chanel bags were the worst. I haven’t bought much from Chanel, since she became creative director. Whoever goes to Chanel, I hope brings back that fairytale , but not over the top more wearable, like Karl did… I just hope Phoebe stays at her brand, and continue her amazing work. Although the way she made Celine timeless, she definitely could be great for Chanel. Have a blessed day🙏❤️

I'm with you Giedre. When I fell in love with Chanel, it was exactly as you say, fairytale but wearable but it has lost that magic. Interesting to know about the quality of the clothing. I do agree, it's a business decision. It's such a shame as well bc Chanel is a privately owned brand. So much greed. Thank you for watching and sharing❤

Best news from and for Chanel. If they didn't change direction, the classic flap and No 5 can't save them.

My pick is Pierpaolo Piccoli, but I would love to see Stefano Pilati back in fashion. I feel like his work for YSL was misunderstood.

I also hope Chanel picks PPP, but I can also see it being Hedi as he is very sellable and with the new Unilever CEO...I agree with speculation that they plan to make the company public.

Mary, first of all loved the Celine sunglasses you wore-total vibe. When you said you confirmed Hedi Slimane was leaving Celine, I felt like it was him. I was already feeling him but hearing that makes me feel more confident behind this choice. But we'll find out soon. Great video!

@MarysRoom

Ohh yess I'm so eager to know👀

I remember over a decade ago, I think there was a clip of Karl, or an interview where he said Haider Ackermann would be a great successor. I was always curious about what Karl knew and why he would suggest Haider. I also think if Chanel were to take on a “new” designer like Jacquemus it would be a huge risk. I feel like Chanel will want to have someone who has been in the game for decades… but we shall see! Hedi would be an interesting choice as well. A more minimal, stripped down Chanel ? Hmmm

@MarysRoom

Ай бұрын

Ohh yes I wonder why Karl would say that about Haider as well. I agree Jacquemus is very beloved by the industry now, but other designers have decades long experience!!

Most Likely: Hedi Slimane Who I would pick: Sarah Burton

based on the timing and hedi slimane's recent collections i can see it being him...but i have no personal feelings or fantasy picks.

I suspect Virginie handed in her resignation some months ago & Chanel tapped Hedi on the shoulder, hence the rumours of his departure from Celine. He's proven himself commercially over the years which would be very attractive to Chanel. Creatively I'd prefer to see Pierre Paolo. Great summary btw of all the chatter happening at the moment. Very balanced

What was great was that it was a woman designing for other women and the fact that it’s a exclusively female brand.

I think its a good bet. The rumour is Michael Rider the former Ralph Lauren Polo designer and Old Celine alumni. But nothing has been announced.

Great video! My choice would be Hedi. I must admit I’ve been very underwhelmed and uninspired by Chanel lately. I would have never thought you owned Chanel handbags from watching your videos. I have recently sold several. They just kind of lost it for me. Especially with all of the price increases and decline in quality. Since I had loved Celine I would love to see Hedi as the new Chanel creative Director

Yes it's been a while I've been inspired with Chanel. Like many I fell in loved with the Karl vision but couldn't get on board with the recent collections and business moves. It does feel like the recent collections are hinting at this Celine to Chanel transition. Thank you for watching Shelly!!

i’m not a big hedi slimane fan, but i cant deny that he could/would bring the increasingly desirable “youth centered aesthetic” to the house. in my mind, it doesn’t make sense though to bring in an aging household name if the brand is hoping to build another franchise designer & leader. i (personally) would love to see them make a play for olivier rousteing. he’s only 38 years old, so he’s got at least a couple decades to build on, chanel could give a jolt of fresh energy to his work, it would keep the direction of the house in french hands, and it would be a historic & significant appointment (for obvious reasons.)

@MarysRoom

Ohh an Olivier Rousteing would be so fascinating at Chanel. I still love my Balmain Blazer and I have noticed some of his RTW is very Chanel. Thank you for watching!!

If Hedi can resolve the prickly relationship with Vogue, I think he is a promising candidate since he has a nice portfolio. He might introduce menswear to Celine.
