Fashion Designer Hedi Slimane Makes Progress In Legal Fight Against Kering

Former Yves Saint Laurent star designer Hedi Slimane won a court ruling in his favor on Friday regarding his ongoing legal battle against previous employer Kering.  A Paris commercial court said Slimane should have access to financial information regarding Yves Saint Laurent.
