Hedi Slimane is exclusively in the latest issue of Vogue Paris<

You have been at the head of Dior Homme, Saint Laurent and today of Celine, three houses with very specific identities.You have nevertheless managed to develop a coherent style, very identified, in this case yours over the years.An emancipation or a freedom that some see as a digression compared to the pedigrees of these houses.What inspires you? """"""""Sewing houses are not luxury hotels where we take our habits.They are embodied with integrity.The designer, not to be confused with a style office, prints his personality, his commitment, and his identifiable style provided, naturally and preferably, that he has one.This does not prevent it, like a director whose style is recognized, from having a script, what you call the pedigree of houses.When, in contrast, there is not the shadow of a personal style, there is always the option, to exist, to methodically usurp the stylistic identity and the vision of its predecessor.It is deliciously pathetic and entertaining for everyone, but it is above all another job whose name I do not know.""""""""

Bernard Arnault said he was targeting a turnover of two to three billion euros for Celine within five years. Vivez-vous son ambition et cette foi en vous et votre talent comme une pression ?""""""""De mon point de vue, l’ambition partagée c’est la place de la maison Celine redéployée, et ce qu’elle peut représenter sur le long terme.There is not only a quantified but heritage approach, the creation of intrinsic value, the influence, the cultural field in the long term.It is a question of placing solid foundations, as of the rest I did before at Dior or Saint Laurent.Now the pressure has been my daily life for twenty years, I have been focused on the essentials, creation.""""""""

À quoi ressemble le processus de création d’une collection ? Qu’est-ce qui vous inspire ?""""""""Toujours de parfaits inconnus.Love at first sight in other words and figuratively for a girl or a boy who constitutes a seasonal polaroid.I continue my research on the perfect locker room in parallel.I rework my classics a billion times, season after season.This is again a form of craftsmanship.""""""""
