Hedi Slimane Rock Diary
Design Gavillet & Rust

“This beautifully designed three volume boxed set presents new photographic work by Hedi Slimane, the iconic fashion designer who, during tenures at Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior, has infused men’s fashion with an androgynous, rock n’ roll swerve.

In a 2003 conversation with Interview’s Ingrid Sischy, Slimane discussed his beginnings as a photographer: “I started taking pictures before I even began in fashion. I didn’t start with clothes until I was 16, but I had my first camera when I was 11. I’ve always taken pictures, almost like some people take notes or write down their thoughts.” As this collection reveals, Slimane’s photographs of the international music scene are as fresh and intrinsic as his paradigm-shifting work in fashion.
“Collaboration with Hedi Slimane for Rock Diary, a three-volume boxed set.”"

Gavillet & Rust define the words: Swiss, typographic rigour. Excellent work.

    I haven’t got round to buying this box set yet, but I do have Hedi Slimane: Intermission 1 which is also nice, though a tad bit heavy in the uv varnish department – occasionally the pages will stick together making it difficult, not to mention painful pulling them apart!
    All their [G&R] work is well executed, it’s just amazing I only recently discovered their website!
