Hedi Slimane Returning to YSL Branding

Hedi Slimane is to take Yves Saint Laurent back to its "original branding."

The fashion house's new creative director - who announced yesterday the brand will be renamed Saint Laurent Paris - plans to use the same fonts and similar nomenclature used in the 1960s as part of a bid to push forward while remaining true to the iconic company's heritage.

"This is to restore the house to its truth, purity and essence - and taking it into a new era while respecting the original principles and ideals," a spokesperson added of the return to original branding.

The Yves Saint Laurent name will continue to be used for "institutional" purposes, and the YSL logo will remain the same as its original 1961 version.
The changes have the backing of Yves Saint Laurent's former partner Pierre Bergé, who is pleased that previous creative director Stefano Pilati has been replaced.
