raf simons in his last show in milan
hedi slimane for ysl
"The drama that started almost exactly a year ago with the breakdown and departure of John Galliano from Dior has spread across the fashion universe."
"The moving end to Raf Simons’s seven years at Jil Sander dominated the Milan scene over the weekend as much as the news that Ms. Sander herself will be returning."
"Simons’ next move will also be of upmost interest to the fashion industry with the designer previously linked to roles at both Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. His departure from Jil Sander will add to speculation that he could step into the creative director role at Dior after John Galliano’s fall from grace last year."
"Speculation now has Yves Saint Laurent taking on Hedi Slimane, who was a designer choice to follow the original maestro. The idea that Mr. Slimane, who has followed a photographic career since his departure from Dior Homme, would move back to YSL, where he once designed men’s wear, has created yet-another firestorm across the cybersphere." newyorktimes.
Its sad to see raf simons step down from jil sander but in the other hand, he revolutionized the brand with the success of the +j line with uniqlo, and bringing that ready to wear black and white fits that are seeing a comeback. raf gained interest from young sartorially inclined guys interested in fashion and style with the RAF, uniqlo, jil sander brand. I think raf would be a good choice for Dior, the way he brought up the jil sander brand, i feel like he is best fit for the creative director position with his reputation in Paris plus his fans behind him. I am glad that i have a raf simons piece in my wardrobe, just haven't had the chance to wear it for the proper occasion. With that i think hedi slimane would tear up ysl, and put more interest in the brand. ysl been on the down low for awhile. It would be nice to see some new ready to wear collections and pieces.
