Saint Laurent Dance: Hedi Slimane’s first film for Saint Laurent


Saint Laurent classic ballerine shoes has been reinvented. Hedi Slimane, the creative director at the house of Saint Laurent (formerly Yves Saint Laurent), shot his first minute and a half long clip starring the luxury house’s newly redesigned shoes. The designer and photographer move behind the movie camera in New York for a video piece with model and dancer Lida Fox, the daughter of a professional dancer and an opera
singer.

Hedi Slimane scandalized as Creative Director of Saint Laurent. The movie keeps a lot from the California grunge direction of the label mixing traditional Saint Laurent aesthetic codes.

Ballet flats stepped onto the fashion scene in the 16th century, though throughout history their popularity has ebbed and waned in the shadow of stiletto heels.
