WEB Updated Monday March 19 9:43am: New Yves Saint Laurent Creative Director Hedi Slimane Has Put...
A Name For His First Collection
Slimane announced on Instagram that his first collection will be called:
Saint Laurent Rive Droite (right bank) because it will be sold only in the three Saint Laurent stores on the Right Bank in Paris. Rive Gauche stores, which were designed by Slimane's predecessor, will continue to sell the collections they were designed for by Vaccarello.
Slimane has been criticized for his drastic changes to the house of Saint Laurent since he took over as creative director in 2016. Some have accused him of erasing the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent himself, while others have praised his modern and edgy aesthetic.
It remains to be seen whether Slimane's new collection will be a success. However, his decision to name it Saint Laurent Rive Droite suggests that he is confident in his vision for the future of the brand.
