COVERAGE
Created during the last season of his 7 year tenure at Dior, Hedi Slimane drew immense inspiration from both rock music and pop culture to create this signature silhouette. 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.
