Kering results: Gucci A+, YSL A++, Bottega Veneta – must try harder
Is Gucci’s success a flash in the pan? Can YSL survive the shock departure of Hedi Slimane? Is Bottega Veneta still the quiet star it’s been for years?

Slimane wins first round as he wrestles Kering for $13m YSL chill-out cash
How valuable is a creative head to a high-end brand? Very. Just how valuable has become clear following the latest development in Hedi Slimane’s legal dispute with his ex-employer Kering.

SS16 fashion ad campaigns: Saint Laurent goes grunge
Hedi Slimane isn’t trying to win over any traditionalists with his SS16 ad campaign for Saint Laurent. The clothes may be ultra-expensive but the look and feel is grunge-meets-morning-after-the-night-before.
