Hedi Slimane | Photographs from the Yves Saint Laurent Home
by L.A. Ruano, January 15, 2009
World renown fashion designer Hedi Slimane took a visit to the Yves Saint Laurent home back in November of 2008. Playing a major role in the relaunch of YSL Rive Gauche Homme, Slimane shares a well documented history with the famous Fashion house tracing back to his stint as Art Director. Of course, he is also well known for his time spent at Christian Dior until his departure in 2007. We now get a look at some of his photographic work from the latter part of 2008 capturing YSL’s partner Pierre Berge in his Parisian residence.

Nobody knows where can I buy Hedi Slimane photos?
I think it is time to re define the word classic.
black&white because YSL is classic and timeless.
he kinda looks like Hitchcock
Simple, nothing too ground breaking here. Personally I think everyone has had enough black and white. Good use of shadows.
I feel like these pictures are leading up to this guys death with how dark and dreary things are.
This appears to be a celebration of this man’s life and accomplishments. Why wouldn’t there be COLOR to this story? I would have done this very differently. Something groundbreaking..
Total overuse of black and white these days, because photographers seem to have an obsession with these shadows.. so much so they forget what they are trying to say through these pictures. There is a picture of a wall where this guy drew shades of different colors except here it just looks like shades of gray.
Too much sorrow and depression for me.
simply breathtaking. Wow Hedi’s vision is so articulate and concise
