Hedi Slimane taking over YSL?

A designer from the past has been brought up to the surface as rumors have stated that he will be signed as Creative director for YSL. He's not only a designer from the past he's very aware with the classical fashion house. Hedi Slimane worked under menswear for the house during the late 1990's and have somehow left the Fashion House YSL. While being away I discovered that he was based in LA where he pursued a career in photography and has worked with models of today's time , and have had his shots featured in a magazine. When hearing this news I wondered who is this designer and what's happening like many that isn't accommodated with him.

Reading on Google:

"The contract has been signed by both sides," one fashion insider said. "He is becoming the new director at Yves Saint Laurent."
Other sources said the appointment was to be officially announced in the coming week. Paris Fashion Week runs from February 28 to March 7.

A spokesman for the PPR group, which owns YSL, declined to comment."
Slimane will replace the Italian designer Stefano Pilati, sources said.
Considered by his peers as one of the most gifted designers of his generation, Slimane stepped down from his post at Dior saying he wanted a chance to design for women."


Now he hasn't designed a full collection but for Dior Homme gave a little chance to give him some wings.

I wonder what does this mean, Will Stefano Pilati be signed to a new fashion house?

He's been away from the fashion house so can he deliver?

I'm not sure but things will fall together at least.

What are your feelings about Hedi Slimane taking over?
