Hedi Slimane Remains Divisive

You should definitely not expect Hedi Slimane to avoid controversy. Following his first effort for Saint Laurent, which spawned both glossy covers and open-letter arguments, Slimane didn’t back down from his unique Californian vision for his second season with the brand. A tribute to grunge, the collection received the near immediate approval of grunge muse Courtney Love and fashion icon Kate Moss. The critics, however, remained divided, with Cathy Horyn (reviewing from photos as she is still on Slimane’s shitlist) deeming the pieces “not special.”
