It's inside the newest edition of Vogue Hommes Japan.

will clothes eventually show up?

 

[Omnis]

Perhaps Slimane is launching a line of furniture.

Surprisingly it looks kind of good (minus the logo). It feels weird though having a menswear campaign and not a womenswear one.

Going to wait for more to judge...

Not a clear shot, but I kinda like it. Still very classy and rich looking. Thanks for sharing, Flashbang!

My thoughts exactly.

 

[GERGIN]

If anything this is just a teaser by Hedi (VHJ promotion too, maybe) as he did photograph for their issue that this image is showing in.

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

I love white pages with a small logo.

What does it sell? What does it say about that "new" Saint Laurent man? It seems so empty to me...

 

[MulletProof]

Looks good. Sorry for the stupid question here but is this really part of any season? it sort of reminds me of Nicolas Andreas' ads to create anticipation.. no more. There should be more ads like that I guess.

That's what i'm saying! They do this all the time in Encens as well!

here we go again with Hedi.. hype_hype_HYPE

 

[jmrmartinho]

At first glance it looks like Freja.
I cant believe this man changed the whole house, has ad campaigns and still didnt show a single item of clothing.

its a good image but nothing YSL about it...i dont like it when designers over tamper with classic labels

PILLOW TALK: Hedi Slimane’s first advertising image for Saint Laurent has arrived — and it’s in the rock ’n’ roll vein he’s been mining in recent years. The double-page spread is to appear in the latest issue of Vogue Hommes Japan, due out on newsstands today.

It features a black-and-white photo by Slimane of musician Christopher Owens, shirtless and his face obscured by tangles of hair, lounging on a pillow.

The pale flesh, long hair and cushions bring to mind the famous nude fragrance ad from 1971 of the founding couturier — although only Owens’ torso is visible. Saint Laurent — Slimane’s new moniker for the Yves Saint Laurent collection and stores — is spelled across the opposite white page, with the word "Paris" underneath. A YSL spokeswoman described the campaign as “institutional,” to convey an atmosphere, with the Owens spot the first of 15 different images. Future campaigns are to feature Saint Laurent fashions.

Owens was until recently the lead singer of the San Francisco band Girls, and he has been photographed previously by Slimane, who plans to continue working as a photographer in addition to his role as creative director of YSL. 

Slimane is due to show his first runway collection for Saint Laurent on Oct. 1.
