In recent years—with only a few notable exceptions—former Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane has preferred to be seen (through his photographs, for magazines and on his frequently updated online Diary) than heard. But for the April of Menswear, published by Women’s Wear Daily, Slimane sat down with the magazine’s Miles Socha for a Q&A. The [...]

No sooner has one gorgeous child been born—that’d be the new baby son of Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom—than another’s on the way. David Beckham took to Facebook this weekend to announce that he and Victoria are expecting their fourth child. [Vogue U.K.]Words we thought we’d never have occasion to write: Hedi Slimane photographs Robert [...]

Well, that didn’t take long. Less than a day after Carine Roitfeld announced she’s stepping down from her post at Paris Vogue, London’s Telegraph has rounded up a few candidates who might replace her. Their picks range from the likely (Roitfeld’s second-in-command, Emmanuelle Alt, left) to the less likely (Anna Dello Russo) to the well-actually-that’s-kind-of-inspired [...]

The rise of twin Jerseyite models Ann (right) and Kirby Kenny continues. Their latest admirer is Hedi Slimane, who shot a series of the sisters together for his updated-when-he-feels-like-it Fashion Diary. They’ve already bedeviled Miuccia Prada (who chose Ann for Prada and Kirby for Miu Miu) and our own model-watcher Romney Leader (who included them [...]

[Dazed Digital]Eva Herzigova is the latest model-turned-designer. The Czech [...]

Who doesn’t have a lower-priced, secondary collection of T-shirts at this point? It turns out Vena Cava (pictured) didn’t, and now they do: Viva Vena, a line of organic cotton and jersey tees and tanks produced in L.A. All will retail under $200. The wheel remains unreinvented, but we ain’t complaining. [WWD]Speaking of wheels un-reinvented, [...]

The hat beat is a tricky one: It seems that no sooner has everyone seemed to agree on a particular shape or style, then it’s on to the next. A season or two back, every boy at the Beatrice had found his way to a porkpie of sorts, a sixties-slick moment fatted, it felt, on [...]

George Barnett’s first modelling job was Hedi Slimane’s last show for Dior Homme in 2007. Since then, his wraith-pale, angular features have made him one of the most recognisable faces in men’s fashion. He’s got the saintly sinner look that appeals to designers like Alber Elbaz and Miuccia Prada. But modeling is moonlighting for him. [...]

A late Christmas card from ex-Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane and VMan.com: The designer’s new short film, Oscar Improvisation 1, is now streaming on www.hedislimane.com.
