By Astrid Wendlandt PARIS (Reuters) – Hedi Slimane is stepping down as creative director of fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) after four years in the job, parent luxury goods group Kering said on Friday. Kering, which gave no reason for Slimane’s departure and did not say if he would receive a payoff, said a new creative organisation would be announced for the brand in due course. Some fashion industry observers said fashion designer Anthony Vaccarello could step into Slimane’s shoes.
