Rumors have been rampant for months regarding Slimane’s future at the LVMH-owned fashion house. Speculation continues to mount that the French designer is to take up the mantle as creative director of Chanel (following the abrupt departure of Virginie Viard in June). Slimane signed on the dotted line with Celine in 2018, having enjoyed a stint as Saint Laurent creative director from 2012 until 2016.

Where will Slimane land in his next act? Stay tuned.
