Hedi Slimane: Saint Laurent’s Spring 2013 Menswear

Hedi Slimane is one of my favorite designers. He is an icon. He made me realize being skinny never hurts anybody. Well, he is named "Slim"ane That's why I try to keep my body as it is because I have learned to dress it. If I grew muscles, I wouldn't fit into my clothes anymore (tragedy!) Plus, I now know what fits me and what doesn't. Yes, I don't have a healthy body but I try to eat healthy all the time. Back to Hedi... After his controversial return to designing, his first collection for Saint Laurent Womenswear wasn't all that remarkable, ehem. Well, it was his first womenswear offering so give the man a break. 

Right now, let us just enjoy the wonders of Saint Laurent’s Spring 2013 Menswear lookbook photographed by the man himself. Disclaimer: I am fascinated with the leather pieces in this collection. Expect to see leather, leather and more leather.

Loving this utilitarian leather jacket. Minimal and refined.

Another leather piece, this time, it's a dress shirt reimagined in leather.

Triple pleated leather bottoms, hmm. I do like the striped top and stacked bracelets. 

Not very manly, but who cares!

This! Awesome sleeveless shirt with zip detail in the collar and you guess that right, leather shoulder patches (!?!). No idea what these leather thingies are called.

Oh hello! Red leather blazer! Hugs for you!

Finally, a non-leather piece that I really like!

Collarless denim jacket! 

Hmm, I think it's time to troll vintage/thrift shops for the perfect denim jacket. 

Imma cut your collar off! DIY

And for accessories, I'm obviously amazed by the necktie thingy. 

What is this amazingness, Hedi?!?

Lovely right? Welcome back Mr. Slimane. 



See yah later!

The Style Icon: Johnny Depp

I have always admired Johnny Depp. Style-wise, he can do no wrong. Yes, he isn't the most fashionable actor out there, but he always dresses for nobody's pleasure. I love that there is always something off in whatever he's wearing. Maybe a scruffy pair pf shoes with a nice suit, some layered skinny scarves wrapped nonchalantly around his neck or a beat up leater jacket. And his movie portrayals are very admirable. Have you watched "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"? How about "Cry Baby"? Hmm,. "Sleepy Hollow"?

Fortunately for me, I didn't have to search high and low for Johnny Depp's lookbook as the guys over at The Cut has done just that recently. 

Let's get it on with the pictures. Imma start with the newest pics, leading onto the older ones. Enjoy!

Taken during the Dark Shadows press conference in Japan.

I'm having a serious case of jacket envy with his beaten up leather jacket.

Dude cleans up pretty nicely. 

He wears a mean three-piece suit at the premiere of The Rum Diary in London.

Rocking the vest/waistcoat for a TV appearance in Late Show With David Letterman, NYC.

In Cannes, France. Note the distressed cream jeans, suspenders (no belts here), plus an ascot, a hat, glasses, pocket square and so on. He knows the power of accessories.

Here he is in his casual look, at Narita International Airport, Japan.

Love the striped shirt, layered under everything


Loving the print on his double breasted coat.


In a double breasted suit and burgundy tie and pocket square for the New York premiere of Sweeny Todd. Oh! and the scruffy shoes! 


Loving the fit of his shirt, not to mention the multiple rings and layered accessories.


With Vanessa Paradis, at the Academy Awards.


Mixing prints like a boss! Glen plaid coat and a striped shirt.


My favorite film: Sleepy Hollow


And did you know that him and Kate Moss used to be an item?


Young love! Leather love!


In Cry Baby


Lovely glasses you got here! (Photo: 1988)


Ending this post with a 1987 photo for 21 Jump Street.

Now it's your turn. Who are you fashion icons?

PS. He was awarded by the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) as a Style Icon for 2012.
