The exhibition Introspectum, Hedi Slimane, aims to explore the world of one of the most important creative figures in the fashion field nowadays, not only by analyzing his works and the impact they have had on the fashion system, but most of all by observing the relationship between a sensitive personality who's been many times forced to confront a system which is more and more oriented towards the profitability of the maison, sometimes sacrifying the vision of people who, like Slimane, strongly believes in fashion as a vehicle of a message which is more profound and running through the different fields of art.

La mostra Introspectum, Hedi Slimane vuole esplorare il mondo di uno dei più importanti creativi nel campo della moda contemporanea, non solo analizzando i suoi lavori e l’impatto che hanno avuto nel fashion system, ma soprattutto attraverso un’analisi sul rapporto tra una personalità sensibile che si è dovuta scontrare più volte con un sistema sempre più orientato alla redditività delle maison, talvolta sacrificando la visione di chi, come Slimane, crede fortemente nella moda come veicolo di un messaggio più profondo e trasversale alle diverse arti. In questo contesto la figura di Hedi Slimane è riuscita a mettere d’accordo tutti. Riservato e schivo, è stato capace di rivoluzionare l’estetica maschile e a portare la sua visione nelle grandi case di moda francesi come Dior e Yves Saint Laurent. Non tutti sanno che, oltre ad essere uno dei migliori stilisti al mondo, Hedi è anche un abile fotografo ed ha realizzato numerose mostre. La sua fonte d’ispirazione, nonchè chiave di lettura di tutta la sua produzione, è la musica rock. Introspectum (“guardare dentro”) è una mostra che mette in relazione la sua personalità e il contesto socio-musicale che lo ha influenzato con la sua produzione. Un elemento allestitivo ha il compito di guidare il fruitore attraverso un percorso che parte dalle fonti di ispirazione, per poi invadere lo spazio circostante. Un fil rouge materico, metafora dell’esprienza musicale, sempre presente nelle diverse fasi della sua vita. Partendo dalla sua interpretazione del concerto, si potrà cogliere, attraverso le sue fotografie, il punto di vista di Slimane sul mondo esterno e di come ha influenzato le collezioni che ha prodotto. La mostra è stata progettata nello spazio della Stazione Leopolda di Firenze, uno spazio fortemente legato al mondo della moda in Italia e a Hedi Slimane stesso. Proprio qui ha realizzato la sua prima importante installazione, Intermission 1, nel 2002, anno in cui è stato premiato come stilista internazionale dell’anno dal Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Abstract
The exhibition Introspectum, Hedi Slimane, aims to explore the world of one of the most important creative figures in the fashion field nowadays, not only by analyzing his works and the impact they have had on the fashion system, but most of all by observing the relationship between a sensitive personality who's been many times forced to confront a system which is more and more oriented towards the profitability of the maison, sometimes sacrifying the vision of people who, like Slimane, strongly believes in fashion as a vehicle of a message which is more profound and running through the different fields of art. In this context, the character of Hedi Slimane managed to make everyone agree. Discreet ande reserved, he’s been able to revolutionize the male aesthetic, and bring his vision into the big French fashion companies, such as Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. Maybe not everybody knows that, besides being one of the best fashion stylists in the world, Hedi is also a skillful photographer and he has held many exhibitions. His source of inspiration, as well as the key to understand his whole production, is rock music. The exhibition Introspectum (“To look inside”) aims to relate his personality and the social and musical context which influenced him and his production. A piece of the staging area will guide the viewer through a path which starts from his sources of inspiration, and then invades the surrounding space. A fil rouge made out of matter, a metaphor of the musical experience, always there in every different phase of his life. Starting from his interpretation of the concert, through his pictures, we will be able to understand Slimane’s point of view on the external world, and how this has influenced the fashion collections he produced. The exhibition has being conceived in the space of the Leopolda Station of Florence, a location tightly bound to the Italian fashion world and to Hedi Slimane himself. Right there he realized his first important installation, Intermission 1, in 2002, the same year he was awarded as international fashion stylist of the year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
