OSCAR / IMPROVISATION 1 by Hedi Slimane
I don’t really know anything about this other than it’s on Hedi Slimane’s website and it’s pretty cool. You can also see more of Hedi Slimane and his collection American Youth in our new magazine.
Natalia Vodianova and Hedi Slimane
I was about to post some images from V Magazine from Hedi Slimane and the fantastic stylist Nicola Formichetti, and then I got an email with some more pics that Natalia Vodianova had done with Slimane so I decided to post them together. The top two are from an update on Slimane’s Fashion Diary and the bottom two are from V Magazine.
DISCONCERTS by Hedi Slimane

I go through a lot of emails a day and it usually gets to be a soul crushing experience after a couple hours, but every time I see an email from Hedi Slimane’s people I’m suddenly alert like it’s that cup of coffee I need desperately. They sent over some new images from Slimane’s photo diary. He’s updated it with new images of the band The Disconcerts. There are really some amazing images here, be sure to take a look and don’t miss our feature, “Hedi Slimane’s American Youth” in our upcoming issue of Letter to Jane Magazine.
“American Youth” Curated by Hedi Slimane
The French film company Mk2 and Hedi Slimane have collaborated to release one of the best curated collection of films I may have ever seen. “American Youth” chronicles teen films from the 1950’s to the present. Some of them are well known classics, (Rebel Without a Cause, Woodstock) and some lesser known gems that never got the credit they deserved, (Rumble Fish, Zabriskie Point). The limited edition set includes packaging designed by Hedi Slimane and includes his photography. Look for a more in depth review when Letter to Jane Magazine comes out in early November. The set will be released November 18th.
“Absolute Man” by Hedi Slimane
I know this site is starting to sound like a fan site. One day Hedi Slimane, one day Kate Moss and so on, and so on…
Well I can’t help it if they produce a large body of excellent work. Slimane’s feature for Balmain Homme is in character with his usual mise-en-scene. The attitude, in classic Slimane style, is young and cool with and edge. Slimane completely owns a signature style that feels like a fresh idea every time. Slimane is on Avedon status these days and I can’t see much changing that for some time.
AnOther Magazine Autumn/Winter 09
(Click image to zoom in)
For their Fall/Winter issue AnOther Magazine is releasing four separate covers. Kate Moss, Katie Holmes, Natalie Portman, and Vanessa Pradis are photographed Craig McDean and Hedi Slimane and celebrating a decade in style. Just at first glance I think that the Kate Moss cover is the best with Natalie Portman second. You can read the full article here.
Hedi Slimane for Prada
The brilliant Hedi Slimane was chosen by Prada to photograph their latest menswear campaign. Simple and refined, just like it should be. These photos continue the tradition of greatness both Slimane and Prada display time and time again when it comes to integrating high fashion into other artistic mediums. These are not the flashiest images out there but they are striking, Slimane knows how to reduce a subject to it’s pure, essential elements. In a time when technology and the increased exposure of amateur photography into the mainstream pressures professional photographers to go overboard on effects, Slimane shows that the best choice is to go with substance and let the photograph prove itself.
