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.

More quotes by Hedi Slimane
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.
Hedi Slimane
I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.
Hedi Slimane
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.
Hedi Slimane
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.
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'm most interested in that moment when my entire perspective changes, and I have to reconsider everything.
Hedi Slimane
Photography has always been about documentary, the depiction of the instant, a moment, sometimes a place. Each project is somehow an experimentation of a specific context or a character.
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
Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.
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
Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational.
Hedi Slimane
I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective.
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 iPad needs to catch up with Flash before I put a hand on it.
Hedi Slimane
The framework of men's wear is so narrow, that when you play at the edges you get labeled.
Hedi Slimane
I love California. It has such a strong contribution to the history of culture, and popular culture. For better and worse, of course. Even the worst can be interesting to some degree sometimes for somebody creative.
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
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
Hedi was and is still misspelled 'Heidi' and my perception of genders ended up slightly out of focus from an early age.
