Is it maybe because they do not believe the long-term investment is worth it?

Or maybe they are willing to beat the Saint Laurent by Vaccarello with the real mastermind behind SLP success?

In a world of fashion where "gender fluid" is passed off as a new reality, is Celine by Slimane used as a bridge-head to weaken the Gucci-Saint Laurent cash cows ?

Is it a style proposition or a tactical offense against the competitor group?
