Hedi Slimane Has Made New Progress In Prosecuting The Compensation Of Kai Yun Group.

Hedi Slimane prosecution

New progress has been made in the compensation cases during the period of unpaid non competition. On Wednesday, according to Hedi Slimane's lawyer, the departure of the former creative director Hedi Slimane of Saint Laurent was calculated. The provisional court ruled that Kai Yun group was required to pay 13 million US dollars as compensation.

Slimane filed a lawsuit at the French labor court last week, claiming that when it left in April, the company failed to comply with the prohibition clause in the contract, and said that the clause and the corresponding economic compensation should be carried out according to the contract.

After winning the lawsuit, the lawyer of Hedi Slimane said that this is a natural result.

Because the terms of the contract are very clear.

Owns Gucci, Paris and Bottega Veneta.

In a statement last week, Kai Yun group confirmed that there was indeed a regulation on Prohibition of business strife in the contract signed by Hedi Slimane earlier with YSL.

The bans are usually based on the protection of the employer's business secrets, and in accordance with the company's labor contract and secrecy agreement, the company prohibits the employees from competing with their original units after their departure from the original company, including the creation of the same business as the original company.

However, according to Kai Yun group, the group lifted the prohibition clause in April, allowing Hedi Slimane to search for new positions in the competition, but at the same time, it also stopped paying the compensation for the non competition period stipulated in the contract.

Hedi Slimane asked Kai Yun group to continue to pay damages during the period of non competition stipulated in the contract.

In April of this year, Hedi Slimane failed to complete the contract with the company, separated from the brand, and during the period of prohibition of competition, he was almost rejected by the competition company.

Comprehensive development of business and personal brand.

Hedi Slimane has not responded to this decision.

After he left Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello took over the position of the brand creative director in April, but now it seems that the fashion industry is more concerned about the next step of Hedi Slimane. Earlier, there were rumors that Hedi Slimane would join Chanel to replace Karl Lagerfeld, but the news was not confirmed.

For this result, Kai Yun group expressed its disapproval of the verdict, and its legal adviser will plan to appeal to a higher court.
