TI would like to set the record straight regarding a story we ran a week ago about Tsunemitsu Chiba, a purported in house web designer for Hedi Slimane. It turns out Mr Chiba's claim is a complete fabrication. Mr Slimane's press office released the following statement on Friday :

HEDI SLIMANE DESIGNS HIS WEBSITES AND DIARY ON HIS OWN, WITH HIS COMPUTER ENGINEER IN PARIS AT HEDI SLIMANE'S OFFICE.

HE ALSO TOTALLY DESIGNED, WITH HIS TECH IN NY, THE DIOR HOMME WEBSITE FROM
2000 TO 2007.

ANYTHING ELSE IS PURE CONTERFEIT.

KIND REGARDS
THE PRESS OFFICE
HEDI SLIMANE

We apologize for the misinformation but we're equally excited to know the very influential design style of hedislimane.com can be directly attributed to Mr Slimane. Consistency of line is everything, no?
