Fashion career profile
Hedi Slimane
Hedi Slimane is the French fashion designer and photographer whose major creative-director roles include Dior Homme, Saint Laurent and CELINE. He led Dior Homme from 2000 to 2007, was Creative Director of Saint Laurent from 2012 to 2016 and served as Artistic, Creative and Image Director of CELINE from 2018 to 2024. These tenures are stored as completed, dated chapters rather than being carried forward as current leadership. The distinction matters because Slimane’s Celine period was followed by Michael Rider’s creative-director appointment, while his Saint Laurent chapter followed Stefano Pilati and preceded Anthony Vaccarello. The profile connects those house histories without using a designer biography to claim current executive authority or standalone company financial performance. It treats a title, its scope and its end date as separate pieces of the public record.
