Hedi Slimane Goes On Epic Twitter Rant About YSL

Hedi Slimane recently took to Twitter to defend his legacy.

The former creative director of Saint Laurent went on a Twitter rant to set the record straight after recent articles made 'inaccurate statements' regarding his 'usage of the YSL historical logo' and suggested that he tried to remove the 'Y' from the logo during his tenure with the house.

Written in the third-person and consistently using all caps, Slimane proceeded to offer examples, of how he preserved the symbol by including the 'YSL' logo in his photography and designs.
