People always want an explanation about everything and I cannot give it to them. Because I don't know myself. 'Why did you do a pair of pants like that?' I have no idea. I'm not going to have a 20-minute political discussion about the necessity for slashed, painted leather jeans. Basically, I don't know more than you.

Hedi was and is still misspelled 'Heidi' and my perception of genders ended up slightly out of focus from an early age.

Image
I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.

I presume my work has also always been about reduction without any distraction or after effects, outside emotions, or intimacy or complicity with the subject.

I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective.

The perfect integrity of The NewYork Times, and its writers, is not precisely 'just silly nonsense,'

Vulnerability is beautiful to me. There might be a need to fabricate your own beauty paradigms. I guess I never quite bought into any kind of 'standard'.
Hedi Slimane
Image
I thought I should work more on the idea that you wear a suit or a jacket because of the fun it can provide, because it's a game, because it might even have a sexual quality.
Hedi Slimane
Image
Sex is not a subject in my photographs, or would only be if it had to do with romance, sometimes vulnerability. The photographs are quite clearly about happiness, or search for happiness.

Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives.
Hedi Slimane
Image
I'd like men to think about evolving into something more sophisticated, more seductive. To explore the possibility of an entirely new masculinity.

My parents offered me my first camera for my birthday and I developed an exclusive passion for it over the years. Since I was not the most social kid on the block, the camera helped me to express myself, invent my own language - something like a secret garden. I decided early on I would not write in a diary but take silent photographs instead.

Mostly the subject of the photograph, which can be anyone really, coming down the street - someone that has no idea. Heroism in photography, just like in a novel, is for everyone.

The iPad needs to catch up with Flash before I put a hand on it.
