Hedi Slimane's Homage to Rolls-Royce - with a Soundtrack by Beck

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Celebrity Shopping

So-hip-it-hurts Dior Homme creative director Hedi Slimane has come out with an homage to his beloved triple black 1985 Rolls-Royce Corniche. Slimane lovingly photographed the car for UK magazine Dazed & Confused, while multi-talented musician Beck recorded the sound of the Rolls' engine. Slimane's obsession with Rolls-Royce began when the French-born creative type was only six years old, making endless sketches of the beautiful vehicles. "Little did young Slimane know that the car epitomized everything he would later on in life be known for, both as a fashion designer and as a photographer," the mag notes. "Pure luxury, explicit shapes and superior quality." The Corniche is one of two triple black Rolls the designer has owned. Check out more pix and Beck's recording here.

Hedi Slimane Designs Furniture

Photographer turned furniture designer Hedi Slimane's newest endeavor into the world of office furniture is a structured and geographical one. Using ebonized stainless steel, his creations include desks, chairs, and shelves that use a pattern of angles, squares, and thin lines to create a modern minimalist appearance. Although sleek and beautiful to look at, and sure to make a statement as part of a decorating scheme, I can't say they look comfortable at all to actually sit on or use. But then, that's obviously not the point.
