Saint Laurent Spring 2013 campaign

Lensed by the brand’s creative director Hedi Slimane, Saint Laurent's latest campaign features Australian model Julia Nobis. The images are typically monochrome for Slimane, with androgynous silhouettes and boyish clothes. There is almost no difference from his recent campaign for menswear, which is how Slimane wants it to be- boys to wear womenswear, girls to wear menswear.

Slimane, previously head designer at Dior Homme, had been absent from the fashion scene since 2007, pursuing instead a successful career as a fashion photographer. He joined Saint Laurent Paris in March 2011 and debuted his first women's collection at Paris Fashion Week in October. His first menswear catwalk show for Saint Laurent will show in Paris in January.

You can also see his campaign for menswear here, which featured Dutch female supermodel Saskia de Brauw.

Images have been released for Hedi Slimane's first Saint Laurent menswear campaign for Spring/Summer 2013. Photographed by the fashion designer himself, the campaign features Dutch female supermodel Saskia de Brauw, proving girls can do it just as well as boys. The clothes featured in his 2013 range are available to both men and women.

Charlotte Gainsbourg by Hedi Slimane, Vogue Paris December 2007/January 2008

I recently found this back issue of Vogue Paris, from December 2007/January 2008 issue with Charlotte Gainsbourg as the guest editor selected by Carine Roitfeld. Most notable is the portraits of Gainsbourg by Hedi Slimane, recently appointed designer for Yves Saint Laurent, replacing the outgoing Stefano Pilati. Slimane, previously head designer at Dior Homme, has been absent from fashion design since 2007, pursuing instead a successful career as a fashion photographer, evident in the black and white photographs here.
