Two things to do today:

1. Bookmark Hedi Slimane’s photo diary blog.

2. Get your hands on a copy of his much awaited Rock Diary anthology that arrived this summer

Slimane says that before he was a desiger (for YSL and Dior, no less) he was 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.”

With images like this, we believe him. And we want more.
