Are we ready to rerun the vogue for carrying heavy bags on limp wrists?
(Picture: Celine SS23)Hedi Slimane was the designer darling of noughties fashion. He gave rockers their skinny jeans and the It-girls their It-bags to match, which they obediently flung, limp-wristed, in the crooks of their arms.
At the time, he was creative director of Dior Homme (2000 – 2007) and Yves Saint Laurent (2012 – 2016) before taking over Celine in 2018. Here he has brought his quintessential sex, drugs, and polite rock’n’roll approach to the French label - where thin is questionably still king, and his early 2000s customers are on the mood board.
