Hedi Slimane x Prada Ad Campaign S/S 2009
Hedi Slimane for Prada.
"Easter is here and in Hedi Slimane’s world everyone hunts for black and white eggs in their backyards. Don’t to be misled by the title written in true tabloid spirit, Prada have not consulted Slimane to design a collection for the Italian designer house. What the two parties have joined brains for is Prada’s SS09 campaign ad.
Ex-designer at day and photographer at night Slimane’s gloomy work of art in keeping him busy during his time away from needles, textiles and drawing boards. High contrast and deep shadows is what Prada wanted for their campaign photos and that’s exactly what they got. Artistic but punchy every single frame has what it takes to look right in an art gallery exhibiting modern photography. There is always some Yin and Yang, and for this French-Italian project the undesired package that came with putting Slime in charge of this mesmerising campaign is Dior Homme.
Hedi Slimane is major in the fashion world having been the creative genius behind wildly popular Dior Homme. He is also major in the world of photography where his dark imagery still manages to capture beauty despite its melancholy tone.Fashion x Art.Article and Pics via ILuwFashion.Hit the link for more.
