Kaia Gerber's friend and collaborator Hedi Slimane—better known as the former creative director of Celine—is departing the French fashion house after a seven-year stint. The news dropped early in the morning on Oct. 2 after weeks of speculation.
“Under his creative and artistic direction, Celine has experienced exceptional growth and established itself as an iconic French couture house,” Celine said of Slimane in a press release. “The extraordinary journey taken together over the last seven years has made Celine a house with a formidable foundation for the future.”
