Hedi Slimane launches Bright Young Things, a new chapter in his photography legacy

Hedi Slimane has unveiled Bright Young Things, an independent publishing house dedicated to preserving and presenting his distinct visual language. Best known for defining the aesthetics of Dior Homme, Saint Laurent, and Celine, Slimane now brings his archive of portraits and behind-the-scenes images into focus through print. With full creative control, he reintroduces his minimalist, black-and-white style in a new light.

The name Bright Young Things draws inspiration from a group of bohemian creatives in 1920s London—mirroring the youthful energy and artistic rebellion central to Slimane’s world. Over the years, Hedi Slimane photography has earned cult status, especially his photo books, which are now considered collector’s gems.

Though release dates remain under wraps, the announcement has already generated buzz. Through Bright Young Things, Hedi Slimane photography takes on a new dimension—shifting from the runway to the page, and offering fashion enthusiasts a deeper glimpse into the designer’s enduring vision.
