Hedi Slimane. Fashion designer turned photographer


Rock musicians, guitars, smoking girls, californian landscapes - some of the themes from over 2500 photos on Hedi Slimane’s diary. Apart from that there is a Fashion diary, Motion diary, Rock diary and Portrait Diary.
It’s a real fun to scroll through 100 large images on a page!

Hedi Slimane
was born in Paris in 1968. He was  highly influential menswear designer and artistic director at Dior Homme from 2000 to 2007. Slimane is said to have transformed the male silhouette - working with thin, androgynous-looking teenagers and designing super-tight tailoring (as in rock bands). Then he stepped away from Dior and became a photographer (what is quite surprising since very few people leave their profession when they are at the top)
In 2006 Slimane started a photographic blog called "Diary". Nearly all of his photos are black and white and among famous faces of contemporary culture are: Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Gisele Bundchen, Robert De Niro and Kate Moss.
Hedi Slimane don't want to talk about fashion in interviews any more, what is quite understandable when he is constantly asked about his return to fashion design.
