The men’s Summer 24 show in Paris was canceled in July 2023, a decision made by Designer Hedi Slimane in response to protests that broke out in France on Tuesday. During that month, Hedi Slimane shot a film in Paris and Monaco. Scenes starring classical ballet dancer Laurends Seidel were filmed in Paris at the Garnier Opera House, the Gaîté Lyrique, and Le Grand Rex.
Delusional Day Dream
Hedi Slimane began to capture a new, emergent art movement in New York in the early aughts; artists included Dash Snow, Nate Lowman, Terence Koh, and Dan Colen, to mention a few. Famous downtown New York artists Dash Snow, SL Ater Br Adley, Mathew Cerletty, Dan Colen, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Terence Koh, Dougl as Kolk, Nate Lowman, Ryan McGinley, Matt Saunders, Steven Shearer, Paul P., and Banks Violette exhibited in a group show called “Sweet Bird of Youth” in July 2007 at Arndt & Partner in Berlin.
The show Delusional Day Dream is dedicated to the young and vibrant New York music scene while revisiting the cult 2005 album “LCD Soundsystem.” Recalling his strong connections to the New York art scene, Hedi Slimane collaborated with Dash Snow’s estate to select artwork from his archive for the collection. After the lockout, Hedi Slimane began documenting this resurgent New York generation, particularly through a series of portraits of alternative musicians, artists, and clubgoers.
Slimane rediscovers his codes of skinny black ties on white shirts with his signature collar named “5” along with reintroducing the shiny effects from the early 2000s along with the legs of low-rise pants are tapered and extended by a 5 heel, popularized by Slimane in 2005. Meanwhile jeans, most often made of plunged lambskin, have a slight flare.
The court and ceremonial portraits of the French 17th century, particularly the royal pictures of Pierre Mignard, served as the inspiration for the couture bustiers and their satin bows. These broad satin command sashes, which were worn around the waist and occasionally embellished with gold, were fastened with a “ballonné” knot at the right hip. “Le tailleur,” a feature that runs the entire collection, pays homage to Hedi Slimane’s black silhouettes and early days of suiting when designing Dior Homme. Most of the rare textiles are put together on antique looms.
