Slimane aimed at Cathy Horyn

With that said, Authentic Prada BagsHedi Slimane, creative director for Saint Laurent Paris has remained relatively silent throughout the onslaught of criticism regarding his rebranding, retooling and re-imagining of the YSL brand, but apparently enough was enough; the 44-year-old offered critics a lesson on style .

I’ll be honest: I’m not entirely sure what “Gangnam Style,” the title of an insanely popular song by Authentic Chanel HandbagsSouth Korean artist PSY, actually means. But I like the song, I like the video, and so I refer to anyone experiencing a meltdown as going “Gangnam Style.”

Below is an “open letter” by Slimane aimed at Chanel 2.55 Reissue MediumCathy Horyn, the longstanding fashion editor of the New York Times. Although Horyn had not been invited to the YSL show, which took place during Paris Fashion Week, her review of Slimane’s YSL collection debut can best be described as “ouch.”
