@onehandedlibertine I agree with you completely. Bespoke tailoring, while an important part of menswear and fashion, is nearly useless for the thin 20-something. Is Ferrari meaningless because most people drive sedans? Just because your average person does not drive an exotic car, does not exclude them from being important. Bespoke is the Mercedes S-class, luxurious and elegant, Slimane is the Ferrari, striking and beautiful. Both great options, but simply of differing taste and practicality.
I think you're underestimating Slimane's youth culture influence. Even though most high fashion menswear lines have moved further and further from the tightly fitted trouser since 2008, a broad spectrum of teenagers still favor the style. Slimane may not have changed menswear for most grown men, but he definitely did change what teenagers are wearing.
No offense, but Mr. Slimane did not change menswear at any time in his career. He has a niche for a certain type of customer whose needs may not have been addressed by previous menswear designers, but, that's about it, whereas Armani, Klein & Lauren did more, overall, in changing the way men, as a whole dressed, latterly w/ Lauren's Purpule Label's copying of Savile Row & Italian tailoring inspiring more & more men to go for real bespoke, as opposed to RTW.
