Will Michael Rider replace Hedi Slimane at Celine?

If rumors are to be believed, Celine may have found its next heir apparent in Michael Rider. The designer is apparently being courted for the luxury label’s creative director role currently held by Heidi Slimane, according to sources. Rider’s career roots can be traced to Celine, where he was the design director of ready-to-wear from 2008 to 2018 under Phoebe Philo’s creative tenure. Currently, he’s held the creative director role at Polo Ralph Lauren since 2018. Slimane and Celine’s parent company LVMH are supposedly negotiating his contract this week, which began with a six-year term in 2018.
