Hedi Slimane: Quite the Renaissance Man

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Is there anything that Hedi Slimane doesn’t do?  With experience in fashion design, furniture design, fragrance, store design and photography, Slimane is really a Jack of all trades. But don’t think that because he has several irons in the fire means the quality of his talent slumps in certain areas.

The fashion design might be on the back-burner but Slimane’s photography is becoming quite lucrative. Slimane recently signed with Art + Commerce, an agency that represents photographers, stylists, hairstylists, and makeup artists. After he cut the ties with Dior Homme, Slimade shot spreads for various magazines like French Vogue, Vman and Purple. Hedi Slimane’s photography is rather impressive, but what else would you expect? It definitely takes one so involved in the fashion industry to know how to photograph a successful editorial.

But if you miss the couture designs of our favorite Renaissance man, sleep tight knowing that Slimane hinted he is returning to the world of fashion design! This time, however, Slimane will be his own boss, as he is discussing plans to start his own label. What’s next!?
