Dior Homme + Diro Jeans - Hedi Slimane After months of speculation, it’s been officially announced that Dior Homme and Hedi Slimane are to part waves. Arguably one of the most successful fashion relationships in modern times, this break up will leave a big question mark over the future of Dior Homme. Hedi Slimane is reportedly being replaced by Kris Van Assche.

One of the main sticking points for the future of the Dior Homme & Hedi Slimane relationship was the Hedi Slimane signature brand. Apparently the two sides could not form an agreement and Dior became “fed up”. No doubt, Hedi Slimane will move forward with his signature brand which is bound to be a raving success.
