Designer Hedi Slimane continues to set the trends. First, Slimane inspired the reemergence of a cigarette slim silhouette at Dior Homme and now after a successful tenure at Saint Laurent, the designer has revolutionized modern branding. Using Slimane as a model for new creative directors and their impact on existing labels, it’s no surprise to see a brand change its logo or aesthetic for a fresh chapter. This model has been embraced with Alessandro Michele’s 70s inspired stint at Gucci.
