More quotes by 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
Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational.
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
The framework of men's wear is so narrow, that when you play at the edges you get labeled.
Hedi Slimane
David Bowie, for me, was the butchest guy in town. Jagger was like a truck driver.
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
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
I like it to stay very organic, and to remember a personal story behind all my subjects.
Hedi Slimane
I'm most interested in that moment when my entire perspective changes, and I have to reconsider everything.
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 only like luxury fashion. You have to decide where you stand. I like well-made, authentic clothes, well-crafted tailoring. I also like the dream and fantasy of luxury, the exception and rarity of it. I have no interest at all in fast retail. It is ambiguous.
Hedi Slimane
I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.
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
The perfect integrity of The NewYork Times, and its writers, is not precisely 'just silly nonsense,'
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 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.
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
Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.
Hedi Slimane
I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective.
