Hedi Slimane Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I was designing, I had in mind Jimi Hendrix, and I could hardly find skinny indie black kids to wear my clothes. I remember one telling me he had to swap his skinny jeans for baggy ones in the subway before going home, so he wouldn’t get in trouble in his neighborhood Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have a great admiration and tenderness for Azzedine Alaia. I haven’t seen him in a while, but I guess he must be still sewing some dresses at night Picture Quote #1

In the future, fast-fashion retailers might change their philosophy toward real efforts to create a world of their own. One can only hope Picture Quote #1

David Bowie, for me, was the butchest guy in town. Jagger was like a truck driver Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I like the ritual, the liturgy of a well-crafted, emotional fashion show. I will never be jaded with this side of fashion. The catwalk is pure anthropology, something like an esoteric encrypted parade. It can totally be replaced but it will be missed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational Picture Quote #1

I’m so personally attached to all the characters I met and photographed over the years... the anthology is like a photographic reliquary that could potentially preserve their grace, fierce joy, and restlessness Picture Quote #1

Music defines decades, and quite clearly shapes the rhythm, vitality of fashion, attitude and social behaviors. The anthology, just like most of my work, from photography to fashion design, is about and around music Picture Quote #1

I like it to stay very organic, and to remember a personal story behind all my subjects Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The framework of men’s wear is so narrow, that when you play at the edges you get labeled Picture Quote #1

Men’s fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality Picture Quote #1

Men are not supposed to be mysterious. That’s what you say about women. But I think men can have a little of it, too Picture Quote #1

I’m going to design again, but I come back when it’s the right project, so I keep my passion for it intact Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
