Hedi Slimane has been the most talked-about designer over recent weeks, subsequent to the rampant rumors swirling that the designer is to leave his post as Celine creative director. Today, Slimane unveiled his Winter 2024 collection for Celine Menswear, his 22nd as the creative force behind the French fashion house. Titled “Symphonie Fantastique”, from the French composer Hector Berlioz’s 1830 symphony, Slimane transports us to the Mojave Desert located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas on Interstate 15 to present his latest lineup. Slimane’s army of models storm the deserted highway, donning the designer’s signature razor-sharp tailoring, each of the looks infused with a modish elegance and Americana spirit.

“It’s like Hedi Slimane’s swan song. The funeral procession with all the black limousines. The road to nowhere in the middle of a desert. He’s been looking for freedom… go get it, Hedi!” [
