Hedi was and is still misspel...

Hedi was and is still misspelled 'Heidi' and my perception of genders ended up slightly out of focus from an early age.

Hedi Slimane 40 quotes

My parents offered me my firs...

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.

Music has shaped men’s fashio...

Music has shaped men’s fashion and transposed in a playful and witty manner its riding or military heritage. It is difficult to figure out who leads but music and fashion are connected genetically.

Hedi Slimane 40 quotes

Mostly the subject of the pho...

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 40 quotes

I started as a black-and-whit...

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.

Haute couture is a legitimate subject for Yves Saint Laurent and could resume one day.

I only like luxury fashion. Y...

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 40 quotes

I thought I should work more ...

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 40 quotes

Sex is not a subject in my pho...

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 40 quotes

I shared this idea that fashio...

I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.

David Bowie, for me, was the butchest guy in town. Jagger was like a truck driver.

The perfect integrity of The NewYork Times, and its writers, is not precisely 'just silly nonsense,'

Hedi Slimane 40 quotes

An athletic man, or whatever y...

An athletic man, or whatever you want to call him, will only look good in a very classic suit, a pair of classic jeans, athletic clothes or simply naked. Forget fashion. This is not going to happen, unless you want to look like a Chippendales dancer in designer clothes.

Hedi Slimane 40 quotes

Photography has always been ab...

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 40 quotes

Men's fashion has a certain he...

Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.

Hedi Slimane 40 quotes

Just like zillions of children...

Just like zillions of children, album covers educated and informed me, and certainly did I later transpose organically, rather than by intent, those principles both in fashion design and photography.

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.

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 40 quotes

I like the idea of paradox, between the authentic fabrics and sophisticated shapes and between masculine and feminine. I'm not so much for sportswear. I think it's over.

Hedi Slimane 40 quotes

I don't like the collusion bet...

I don't like the collusion between high fashion design and high street. You have to know where you stand. I belong to luxury fashion. That's what I've always felt and embraced. I like the best quality, the best fabrics and the most creative field in fashion. I will stay consistent. I belong to this world.
