If it’s the end then it is indeed a fitting closing. I think Hedi’s Celine was him at his best imho. An evolution and full circle that I don’t believe is fully appreciated. I loved and bought all his SL days and some of his Dior. At Celine lets own it, He shocked us with the tik tok show, AND then the Cosmic Cruiser with the elephant jeans (which Rick was doing for a second so I embraced it btw.) Never knew why some didn’t love it. BUT, looking back it was a cool break from his “same old, same old” that people complain about. Which we all love! And yet form mens many still didnt like it. Or a segment didnt.
And Boy Doll, is imho the most underappreciated collection and a testament to his genius. Partly due to COVID, but partly due to Hedi’s legacy, I don’t believe it was loved unfortunately. But that collection had oversized, skinny jeans and jackets, mommy jeans, couture bikers, coats and jeans, leggings, coats, and shearling that all easily can go with regular wear and it was seamlessly designed. And yet , it seemed like outside of the Asian market, no one liked it. So he experimented in men’s and based on forums (small sample but loud sample) no One liked it. They wanted “same old same old”. So they can say … same old, same old”?
Btw. I wonder why we never complain about Rick and his same old. Maybe cause he talks and embraces media? Even Rick was self aware to say he’s a bit of a fake. But he’s beloved.
Wiltern was the start of Hedi going back to his roots. In LA. Men’s and women’s. And we probably should have seen he was ready to go then. He added vicuña coats and tight tailoring. Which he should have shared the details With everyone. That collection for men was incredible. Couture to the hilt.
In between there was cool fragrances, cool bags and a women’s collection that was the epitome of quiet French luxury which drove Celine sales to UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS his owners wanted.
I think he has come full circle. And this collection isn’t palladium imho (I was at that show). no one was invited unlike palladium🤣. This is even tighter. Even more precise. But with a flair and stamp truly all his own. And yeah. I’m a Stan. So what can I say. Thank you Hedi foe a great six year ride … IF YOU ARE LEAVING 🤣🤣
