If it is different from the previous F-system projects, I won't differ much from it judging on the pictures.. And Hedi Slimane will not become a household name in the near future. He has been offered to become so but he refused to, at this moment he is very busy with his photography and musical interests, especially with the eye on perfect stranger that has been launched in Paris this week, with the biggest party Hedi has thrown in a long while. I will go down there around christmas (I live in Holland), and I'm very excited right now.. However I do not agree with the people who claim that Hedi can work for any brandname. Sure, literraly he can, but not every brand would suit him, nor give him the freedom he needs. Not to offend anyone in this thread, but I think gucci its style differs a lot from what he did at Dior, and since he would not be setting up a name like he did with Dior Homme, but just take things over from the than former designer (Tom Ford I believe), he just can't swap things around too much. As well as, there is a whole different culture around Gucci, essentialy there is a huge gap between French and Italian Couture, and I'm not quite sure if Italian fashion would suit Hedi...
I wouldn't like to see him work for Gucci anyway, I think Gucci has produced quite poor mens fashion over the past years.. And all foreigners overhere are wearing Gucci footwear to look succesful. Overhere, Gucci has really become a clear example of an expensive brand that people with too much money and too little sense of fashion buy..
