Paris – Fashion designer and photographer Hedi Slimane has curated American Youth, a box set of movies, with French production company MK2.
Turning his attention away from waifish male models for a moment, Slimane has put together a package that includes Rebel Without a Cause, with James Dean at his coolest; Boys Don’t Cry, starring indie princess Chloë Sevigny; and Larry Clark’s Wassup Rockers. Slimane art directed the packaging of American Youth, and has included a set of photographs in the box set.
