HEDI SLIMANE - RENEGADES OF FASHION

HEDI SLIMANE
For over twenty years Hedi Slimane has rocked the fashion world, bringing his obsession with music culture and pop icons into a new wave of designs that crossed gender lines, redefined the waste and placed shoulder pads back on top. His love for androgyny led to an influx of men’s-style and the era of the skinny suit and tie was born. Slimane is a true artisan uncompromising to his vision, which has been at the heart of his tumultuous ride, the extreme highs and lows of his career. From re branding the house of Yves Saint Laurent to his next chapter at Celine, Slimane continues to push buttons and boundaries in pursuit of the great design.
Hedi Slimane had been designing at Yves Saint Laurent for three years before the house of Gucci acquired it. He had arrived almost by accident; his work as a Louis Vuitton assistant had drawn the attention of Saint Laurent CEO Pierre Berge, who tapped him as the man to turn around the moribund fortunes of their menswear line.
Slimane had just begun to find his signature style when Gucci, led by their hallowed creative director Tom Ford, stormed the offices of YSL. Ford had been raised to deity status by reversing the fortunes of the flagging Italian label; now he looked to do the same for the French at Yves Saint Laurent.
Ford insisted that all Saint Laurent designers report directly to him, creating a new and unfamiliar hierarchy that Slimane could not abide. After a single disastrous meeting with Ford, Slimane walked out on YSL and the golden ticket he had stumbled across three years prior.
It seemed insane to many, and rightfully so. Who was Slimane! a three year “veteran” of design to question the messianic and unparalleled wisdom of Tom Ford?
In time we know the answer. Hedi Slimane is a creature entirely unto himself; a force majeure of fashion whose fascination with rock and roll iconography permanently shifted menswear and with it, the cultural perception of what an ideal man could be.
Like the rock gods of old he so idolised - who could come to idolise him in return - capitulation is simply not a part of his build. It is, and has always been, Hedi’s way; or the highway.

RENEGADES OF FASHION - NEW 11 PART NETFLIX SERIES
See more in this Series at fashionindustrybroadcast.com and styleplanettv.com
To the casual outsider the Fashion Industry can appear to be a cauldron of creativity with endless innovation and risk taking, as every new season designers have to forget their past successes and milestones and return alone to a blank canvas, to create their next collection, and this cycle repeats itself every 6 months. Granted there are principles, codes, legends and motifs that inform a designer’s agency, but essentially it’s starting over. But to those in the know, the fashion industry is a also a giant sales machine, grinding out mega-dollars as ruthlessly as Goldman and Sachs. According to the McKinsey Global Fashion Index, the global fashion industry is now worth an estimated US$3 trillion per annum. In fact, not only does it touch just about everyone, but it would be the world’s seventh-largest economy if ranked alongside individual countries’ GDP.
Even if you hold only the most casual interest in the world of fashion, it’s hard to deny the fascinating life stories of every person we have chosen to showcase in this Series.

When he took over the reigns at Dior Homme he defined the rock n roll androgynous style for an entire generation. He has a lot of haters because his models tend to look strung out and emaciated but I applaud him for sticking to his aesthetic. No matter who he designs for, you can see his DNA in everything he does.

[@mikyto27]

Where ever he designs, I follow. Love his vision.

[@who_Is_faten_helmi]

He makes me so proud to be Tunisian 💖 both him and Azzedine Alaïa as designers are so iconic . Each with their own artistic vision.

[@razvantasca]

Absolutely true!🌞👍

[@NoName-zi9qs]

But the design DNA came from his Italian heritage.

[@gustavopanesso7297]

Love his men's line

[@transitdogsays6886]

Hedi Slimane appropriates the street aesthetics of punks, metalheads, goths and indie kids. He takes homemade & vintage outfits, elevates the quality of material, and relabels it as high fashion. He’s a genuine culture vulture. I’d like to see him make more original work, which I know he is capable of. Else his legacy risks becoming one that is a derivative of the alt cultures he glorifies, instead of his own unique vision.

[@Kevinsungeun]

He is definitely bigger than dior, saint laurent, or celine. He was able to turn 70s rock culture into something luxurious which was ground breaking enough to change how men dress entirely

[@mignoncat1]

Most important endorsement came from largerfeld who went on a diet to fit into Hedis clothes. Also the accessories sold well

[@jonnyfendi2003]

Most important was from Yves himself who ironically sat front row in hedis first dior show only to come full circle for hedi to design both mens and womens at ysl. Also ironic that both hedi and john galliano never attended each others show for dior.

Totally!

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

well....having come of age in the 70s...i have to say i totally understand and appreciate his work....he is really an amazing STYLIST....maybe the best one in the business next to RALPH LAUREN......not a designer...he has EXCELLENT TASTE...also his AESTHETIC...is CLASSIC...the rock and roll and punk and slightly goth look embraces a LOT OF CLIENTS...lol... ...A LOT...so he will always have a career...i have always admired his PHOTOGRAPHY...and from this video i enjoy it even more...he is an excellent PHOTOJOURNALIST....of the cultures he appreciates.....that are the children of rock punk goth.....whatever he does usually has excellent CONSTRUCTION.....and SCALE....so i always appreciate that...his outrageous demands of control are really unnecessary and childish....just really indicative of who and what he REALLY is...behind the politeness....art and entertainment are processed through advertising and marketing... he KNOWS that ..so his ambivalence .... with the press is...just completely ridiculous....he has excellent taste in interiors and i really enjoyed that...all in all i learned a lot ....about a man with a lot of STYLE....not a truly original talent ...but a lot of STYLE...

[@bigben1986]

Tom ford is a monster!!!!! Love him

[@xcoyco]

I just like his Chelsea boots

[@TymstoneArt]

The way the documentary ended on a low note was kind of weird. There is so much more to say about a who rebirth a few houses. The thing about the critics and journalists was purely him. I might have gone the same way. Most articles are written before they talk to the person they are about. That is all a game. You call him a Rockstar and then your made when he acts like one? You say he is uncompromising in his style and ideas but then you are surprised when he doesn't compromise? I could never wear his clothes (thicker than thiner), but I appreciate a designer who moves the masculine aesthetic needle to a new more open place. I dig his groove. ✌🏾👑

[@michaelhenicker]

His first collection return at Saint Laurent was EVERYTHING. NOTHING like the current dreary collections.....

[@NadiaCirillo]

thank you for making this.

[@razvantasca]

Slimane and Ford : two great designers, but making a clash between those two is not the best way to appreciate those two,both talented, both great artists, are so polymorphic! Slimane, designer, amazing photographer, from Dior and YSL to Celine ,costumes for iconic David Bowie,and much more, Ford, great movie maker, fashion mastermind, talented designer, astounding perfume creator, now chairman of his own company, both deserve immersive exploration, they are just GREAT!🙏🔥💞🙏

[@NS-ur5ss]

29:34 Ah NO The Mods created the combo of the "skinny suit and tie" way way back in the 60's.

[@JC-yy8iv]

And his wasn’t even the first revival, that look had a huge comeback in the New Wave scene of the 80s (driven in particular by Chris Stein and the other male members of Blondie).

[@AllIsWellaus]

fine art, fashion, the arts are always evolving it doesn't necessarily meaning that they completely evolve to a new ascetic each year. That would be two jarring.

Slimane made a good job bei Dior...after that is making all the time the same things....for YSL, foe Celine.....always inspired from the '70. What he does can I too.......

[@Majmune123]

Im sure what you can do is not far as interesting as what hedi can do and does and in my opinion the california/70s vibe hedi is going for from saint laurent 14 or 15 what was it where he really hopped on the 70s vibe ??idk anyways I think its great what hes doing at Celine I think its gonna be a new and very good era for Celine.

[@RubenMartinez-ei2qp]

YungFag101 is he just not recycling what he’s been doing for a while now. Is there not a new era he can tap into. Maybe branch out into other genres of music. Celine looks like a direct copy of what he did as slp simply because it’s his most recognizable work and it seemed to work. Now he has more threats than ever with amiri or maybe even fear of god

[@iojgoro]

@@RubenMartinez-ei2qp could you really say it's exclusively 70's inspired? Something like SS16 is pretty much more like late 80's or early 90's if I understand. I would say he mostly just makes tight fitting clothing but with new theme every year. Cowboys in tight jeans, punks in tight jeans, glam rockers in tight jeans. He doesn't innovate too much, but his clothes are still very nicely designed, and from time to time he really comes up with interesting stuff. Like, his ss20 jeans are so fresh with this interesting mashup of flares with his usual tight sillhouette, which also looks really pleasing with the kind of slim shoes elongated shoes he puts out. I personally believe that sometimes you just gotta make things that already work. In the case of Slimane, it makes his clothes very approachable for people who are just starting being interested in fashion, and it's a great kind of dynamic in general.

old gay fashion business guys give young gay guys (who aren't even trained in design) high profile design jobs. the youngsters are pampered figureheads who believe their own press and grow more and more drugged and deluded. meanwhile a team of real designers and marketing people do all the work in the background. and so the fashion industry continues. growing more and more misogynistic and having less to do with craft or beauty as time goes by.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

That could be the way things work. But there are exceptions. Gianni Versace, McQueen. Galliano, Yohji, Muiccia Prada, maybe even Ralph, Kawakubo, or Tom Ford. But as Mr Ford says, he and Ralph are merchandisers. The others are artists. A big difference according to Mr Tom.
