Chanelcouture09 came to Slimane’s defense. “You’ve only got to look at [Slimane’s] photography to know he won’t be making Kim Kardashian a muse anytime soon… I would have preferred him to be in London, purely because I think London speaks volumes for his taste and sense of style, but I still don’t know what to expect from him,” he admitted. “One thing’s for certain, most of his campaigns will be in black and white, if they are indeed to be shot by him. One thing I do love about him being in LA is that it’s not very cliché, like London, Paris, Milan, and New York, where most studios are based,” he added.
Maybe this fresh perspective is exactly what fashion needs right now. If anyone can look past the seedy celebrity culture of LA and create something beautiful from it, it’s Hedi Slimane.
