Hedi Slimane surprised everyone with the seismic gap between his SS19 and FW19 collections.

One of the biggest surprises of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion-week/celine-spring-2019-hedi-slimane-debut">last year&#39;s SS19 Celine show</a> was how much Hedi Slimane moved the brand away from its predecessor, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/celine-pre-fall-2018-last-collection-by-phoebe-philo">Phoebe Philo&#39;s&nbsp;vision</a>. Critics were fast to point out the similarity between Slimane&#39;s&nbsp;work for his previous&nbsp;house, Yves Saint Laurent, claiming the Celine vision had been thrown out <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/c%C3%A9line-has-a-new-logo">with the accented &#39;e&#39;</a>.&nbsp;

In true showmanship, Slimane was back to surprise crowds again at Paris Fashion Week with his FW19 collection. In a complete turnaround from his SS19 collection, Slimane&nbsp;instead took inspiration from old <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/hedi-slimane-launches-new-celine-store-concept-in-new-york">Celine</a> (no, not Philo&#39;s Celine) decades-old Celine - through the house&#39;s archives from 40 years ago.

Out was the noir evening wear of the previous season, and instead, the design focused on daywear, with the 1970s playing heavy as a theme throughout the collection.&nbsp;With winter weather clearly in mind, the collection was modest - with barely an inch of skin shown with knee-high boots, sweaters and below-the-knee skirts playing big in the collection. The new Celine woman was not a&nbsp;clubbing&nbsp;rock chick&nbsp;or a refined art gallery curator; instead, she&#39;s unmistakably French, chic and bourgeoise.&nbsp;Once again, Hedi Slimane has gotten the fashion world talking.&nbsp;
