Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed.

More quotes by Hedi Slimane
I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective.
Hedi Slimane
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
I like it to stay very organic, and to remember a personal story behind all my subjects.
Hedi Slimane
David Bowie, for me, was the butchest guy in town. Jagger was like a truck driver.
Hedi Slimane
I'm going to design again, but I come back when it's the right project, so I keep my passion for it intact.
Hedi Slimane
I'd like men to think about evolving into something more sophisticated, more seductive. To explore the possibility of an entirely new masculinity.
Hedi Slimane
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.
Hedi Slimane
Hedi was and is still misspelled 'Heidi' and my perception of genders ended up slightly out of focus from an early age.
Hedi Slimane
I'm most interested in that moment when my entire perspective changes, and I have to reconsider everything.
Hedi Slimane
Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.
Hedi Slimane
I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.
Hedi Slimane
[It's] not one thing this year, one thing another year.
Hedi Slimane
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
I discovered Los Angeles in the late 90s. The city was not at its best at the time, but I fell for it right away. There is something almost haunted about it, a vibrant mythology I find rather inspiring.
Hedi Slimane
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.
Hedi Slimane
The iPad needs to catch up with Flash before I put a hand on it.
Hedi Slimane
In the future, fast-fashion retailers might change their philosophy toward real efforts to create a world of their own. One can only hope.
Hedi Slimane
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 Slimane
The framework of men's wear is so narrow, that when you play at the edges you get labeled.
Hedi Slimane
I started as a black-and-white teenage photographer, and I'm still there decades after. In some ways, the genre is almost gone. I am thinking of true, stubborn, lifetime black-and-white photographers, as opposed to black-and-white as a photographic commodity.
