Is Hedi Slimane Chanel’s Next Creative Visionary?

With Slimane's departure from CELINE, speculation mounts about his potential future at Chanel, sparking conversations across the fashion industry

CELINE made headlines this week with a major shakeup that signals a new era for the iconic French fashion house. On Wednesday, CELINE announced that Hedi Slimane is stepping down as artistic director after a five-year tenure that saw him transform the brand’s identity with his distinct style rooted in youth culture and rock influences. Taking the reins from Slimane is Michael Rider, a designer with deep ties to CELINE, having previously served as design director under Phoebe Philo. Rider, who recently exited Polo Ralph Lauren in May, will begin his role as CELINE’s artistic director in Paris next year, bringing anticipation for the future of the brand.

Slimane’s departure was rumored for months, with industry whispers hinting at disagreements between the designer and CELINE’s parent company, LVMH, over contract renewal terms. Known for his creative control, Slimane demanded oversight over every aspect of CELINE, from its logo and branding to the campaigns, which drew mixed reactions . On Sunday, Slimane released his final collection for CELINE, a cinematic ode to 1960s silhouettes presented through a picturesque video, his preferred format since the pandemic. The collection, with its short skirt suits and vintage aesthetic, drew comparisons to Chanel, setting off even more rumors about Slimane’s next move.

The fashion world is now abuzz with speculation that Slimane may be on his way to Chanel, following the recent departure of Virginie Viard from the helm. Slimane’s legacy, which includes revitalizing Saint Laurent by stripping it down and modernizing it, has many believing he could work a similar magic at Chanel. However, this prospect comes with its own risks — Slimane is known for his uncompromising approach, and Chanel might not be eager to embrace such a dramatic shift.

Chanel’s president, Bruno Pavlovsky, appeared to dismiss these rumors earlier this year, suggesting the house prefers not to appoint directors who replicate their vision from one brand to another. Still, Slimane’s name continues to swirl in industry conversations, partly fueled by Karl Lagerfeld’s past admiration for him. Lagerfeld famously introduced healthier habits into his lifestyle to fit into Slimane’s tailored designs, an example of Slimane’s impact on the fashion community. The connection between Chanel and Slimane is undeniable, but whether it will materialize into a new creative partnership is still unknown.

As CELINE prepares for Rider’s leadership, the brand seems poised for yet another transformation. Rider, whose aesthetic is often more in tune with Philo’s refined minimalism, could represent a return to the softer, more feminine identity that drew a loyal fan base during her time. His decade-long experience at CELINE means he understands the core of the brand’s DNA.

The fashion industry is currently in a state of transition, with changes also anticipated at other major labels like Gucci, Dior, and Margiela. Amidst this reshuffling, Slimane’s departure from CELINE has added to the sense of unpredictability, and his next move remains one of the biggest questions in fashion right now. Whether he takes over at Chanel or pursues another direction, Slimane’s legacy of radical brand reinvention has already left an indelible mark on luxury fashion.
