Created during just a few years into his 7 year tenure at Dior, Hedi Slimane drew immense inspiration from both rock music and pop culture to create this unique accessory for his Spring Summer 2004 show titled “Strip”. Hedi turned childhood bullying into a lasting impact: Hedi's signature skinny silhouette stems from the bullying and homophobia he experienced as a teen. "Many in high school, or in my family, were attempting to make me feel I was half a man because I was lean," Slimane said. "I would turn to my music heroes, and this was comforting. They looked the same and I wanted to do everything to be like them, and not hide myself in baggy clothes to avoid negative comments.” Dior Homme embodied a beautiful exchange between contemporary music and menswear fashion under the watchful eye of Slimane - he commissioned original songs for runway shows from Beck, the Rakes and Phoenix.
