Little people know why Slimane revolutionized men's fashion: because he cut suits in a way that had never been done before. Inspired by the Bauhaus school, his cut was almost feminine. He's the reason why Lagerfeld lost so much weight...
After he left Dior Homme in 2007 at the top of his game, he became a full-time photographer. The results of his career as a photographer is currently exhibited at the MOCA in L.A where he spent significant time photographing Venice-beach skaters and celebrities...
MOCA Director Jeffrey Deitch said: “Hedi Slimane has created a new and fresh visual language for youth today… his black-and-white images capture the essential expression of the emerging art, fashion, and music scenes around the world.”
The Hedi Slimane Exhibit runs until January 22, 2011. Let me know what you think if you have a chance to see the show... I won't have the chance to.
