Interzone. The Hedi Slimane Book
Paris: Purple Institute/Janvier, 2005. 1st Edition. Quarto, publisher’s stapled stiff printed paper wraps.
Special supplement to Purple Fashion issue #4, an artist’s book by Hedi Slimane edited by Olivier Zahm. A celebrated French-Tunisian menswear designer, Slimane is the former creative director of Dior Homme and Yves Saint Laurent and currently works as a professional fashion photographer. Produced during his Dior Homme years, this book captures Slimane’s youth centered aesthetic that often merges fashion imagery with countercultural references, featuring portraits of male models and figures from the indie music and fashion scenes. Illustrated in black-and-white; with fragments of text drawn from William S. Burroughs’s Interzone. Some creasing to wraps. Very good. Item #12710
