If there was someone I would love to work with one sweet day, it would, undoubtedly, be Hedi Slimane.
The 40-year-old Tunisian-French couturier did not only work for world-renowned luxury fashion houses like Yves Saint Laurent and Dior, he also has a brilliant eye for photography. And if you combine the rebellious rock’n’roll attitude with the fashion empire, spice it up with Slimane’s creative and constructive talent, you get some stupendous shots.
Some of his trademarks are black & white pictures , the obvious devotion to the rock’n'roll lifestlye and, particularly, his noticeable close-ups, which surely leave a deep impression on the viewer. However, he occasionally presents some Still Life photographs of man-made objects and a few colour photos.
Therefore, I advise every ’sex, drugs & rock’n'roll’ aficionado to have a close look at Hedi Slimane’s interesting work here (or here).
