Bob Dylan is the Latest in Hedi Slimane's 'Portrait Of' Series

March 9, 2023

Creative multihyphenate Hedi Slimane is an artist of many mediums. His 'Portrait Of' photographic series, co-authored with CELINE, is Slimane's way of bringing his artistic worlds together. He immortalizes those subjects that he deems crucial to music history in a light that is more intimate than expository. Slimane's devotion to music culture, especially the rock n' roll aesthetic, has long worked itself into the folds of his collections at CELINE, even in how they're presented.

His list of sonic muses include Iggy Pop, Jack White, Julian Casablancas, and now the voice of a generation himself, the rock legend Bob Dylan. Back in December, Slimane took to LA to photograph the legendary musician in his own space with his acoustic guitar in a Celine leather jacket that embodies the effortlessly cool style Dylan has always been known for. Known as one of the greatest American musicians of all time, Dylan's true artistry shines through in his poetic lyricism and undeniable knack for radical self-expression.
