Hedi Slimane

Editor-in-Chief Matthew Whitehouse on THE FACE's autumn cover stars: Ethel Cain, Fakemink, Post Party, George Rouy, Erykah Badu, Alex Consani and Charlie Jones.

A portfolio of fresh faces bringing energy to the scene. Captured by Hedi Slimane over three days in East London, July 2025.

The creative director introduces halter necks, tight leather and metallic suiting for a generation hell-belt on breaking the sartorial binary.

For his third in a run of shows exploring “indieness”, Hedi Slimane joins the dots between the proto-punk of Suicide, the rock scene of the ’00s, and the new gen of Paris nightlife.

For AW22, the creative director took over ornate Parisian grounds to present the luxury house’s latest collection to a thumping club soundtrack.

Gus Dapperton has an enviable fashion sense, and a sound that reverberates in your ears with mellifluous effect. Little wonder Hedi Slimane chose to shoot him in Celine for his Portrait of a Performer series.
