When you say slipping, is the chain slipping but remaining in the same gear (i.e., is it "jumping" over teeth) or is it dropping into the next highest gear? If it's the former then the culprit is probably the cassette--even if it's less than a year old, depending on how much it was ridden it could be worn such that it wouldn't work with a new chain, since chains and cassettes tend to wear together. If it's the latter, then something in the derailleur system is probably the culprit.
