Is Hedi Going Back to Dior Homme?

Jun 26, 2008 @ 12:00pm

Hedi Slimane A little fashion spy in LA tells us that Dior Homme is trying to get Hedi Slimane back into place.

According to them, Kris Van Assche is feeling the same corporate bullshit that Hedi felt and has had it with the whole thing.

Meanwhile, Dior itself is realizing that perhaps the reason Dior Homme was so lucrative under Hedi was because he was awesome, not because they tried hard to micromanage him.

So... is Hedi going back into negotiations with Dior Homme?

Or are there rocks in our head for suggesting it?

This would be very good news...but hedi would not go back.. i had a talk with him once, and just by his reaction. I could tell...
but there is a possibilty he will be producing his own line in the future.

that would be amazing...and not entirely unprecedented (see: jil sander)...but at the same time, i don't see it happening, unless dior really makes him an offer he can't refuse...i would love it, though...kris van assche's work for dior has been kind of mediocre

I can't see him going back, he's not the type. Mind you, maybe if the price was right...? Hang on, mckeb753 just said the same thing...ooops.

Considering that there have been rumors of LMVH trying to set up an eponymous line for Hedi, I don't really see much reason for him to go back to Dior.
