Director’s cut: Fashion star edits film collection

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.

With the wealth of information currently available in the world, and an endless internet through which to discover it, the need to edit, select and curate is ever growing.
