Our modern era seems to dictate that when people, no matter how famous, need to speak their mind, they go to the Internet. Like countless celebrity divorces, the Dior Homme/Hedi Slimane break up has hit the Internet. Slimane has put a statement up on his ultra-chic black and white website. In the statement, Slimane, after apologizing for his poor English, does his best to set the record straight about why he left Dior Homme. As has been reported, he is eager to have his own fashion house under his own name and couldn't make that happen with Dior in a way that he found true to his vision. In the letter, he summarizes his past nearly seven years with Dior. At the end he thanks his team, Bernard Arnault, the models, the manufacturers, the musicians he worked with and more in a long scroll that rolls over the screen like credits. A bit dramatic? Oh yes, but that's just one more reason to love Slimane, this man takes fashion very seriously.
