The rapper Lisa from BLACKPINK is reportedly linked to Hedi Slimane’s exit from CELINE. On October 10, 2024, the French publication Challenges disclosed the purported reasons behind Slimane’s recent departure from the upscale brand CELINE. Hedi Slimane, who served as CELINE’s artistic director starting in 2018, left the prestigious label just earlier this month.
As per the report, Slimane had plans for a CELINE beauty line debut featuring Lisa as his muse in 2023. However, it appears that LVMH was eyeing Lisa for a promotional role with another brand, Guerlain. This scenario pointed towards a potential oversight in securing the BLACKPINK star as the face of CELINE’s beauty launch, which was identified as a contributing factor for Slimane’s departure from the French fashion house.
In June 2024, Korea JoongAng Daily reported that an insider from CELINE confirmed Lisa had relinquished her role as the global ambassador for the brand. Following that, it was announced in July that she would take on the title of House ambassador for Louis Vuitton. As news of this transition circulated online, fans of BLACKPINK expressed their views regarding Lisa’s influence and her connection with Hedi Slimane.
“And they said she was dropped,” stated one fan.
“They wrote essays on how Hedi preferred someone other than Lisa when he actually left for his ONE ambassador and ONLY muse while others never even had a title,” another fan remarked.
“Hedi (with his creativity) and his muse Lisa (with her immense impact) revolutionized that brand. Now CELINE has lost both of them, and it seems no one has heard from the brand since,” another user expressed.
Online discourse reflected a shared belief that Hedi Slimane’s exit from CELINE may have stemmed from a compromised deal involving the BLACKPINK icon.
“So LVMH tried to poach Lisa from Hedi while he was still negotiating with CELINE’s CEO to secure her for their cosmetics campaign? Incredible, Lisa has the fashion and beauty sectors competing against each other,” a fan wrote.
“I recall that Lisa’s critics claimed CELINE dismissed her and that other brands wouldn’t be interested. Oh, karma works in mysterious ways,” another individual added.
“I cherish her karma. Influential media used the Crazy Horse incident to undermine her and seized upon her CELINE departure as an opportune moment for their agenda. Truth will surface soon! She’s favored for a reason,” commented another user on social media.
Supporters of both Hedi Slimane and Lisa emphasized their collaborative synergy.
“I’ve often criticized CELINE, but ultimately, Lisa truly was Hedi’s muse… I hope they can work together again someday,” a user commented.
“An artist who cannot thrive without their muse—regardless of the circumstances, the remarkable duo of Lisa and Hedi will always be remembered,” stated a fan on social media.
“I suspected something unusual was going on behind the scenes. Hedi was too connected to Lisa to just let her go,” said another user on their platform.
