The Hedi days are over at DH
Christian Dior "fed up" with Hedi Slimane, replaces him with KRIS VAN ASSCHE
According to WWD, Hedi Slimane wants to establish his own fashion label – and the designer is worried about losing rights and ownership to his name. "Slimane is reluctant to give up control of his name and has set a high price tag on the value of his trademark," said WWD's sources.
Christian Dior is said to be "fed up" with Slimane's constant demands and the bad feeling has begun filtering down into the company. Sources said Dior was willing to back a signature house, but there were wide differences over the estimated value of the Hedi Slimane brand and control rights.
Sources close to Slimane indicate he is sad to leave Dior and "tried to make things work" with the luxury giant, but ultimately he was unwilling to compromise his work, especially concerning a label under his own name.
In his six years at Dior, Slimane redefined the Dior Homme man.
