Daft Punk in YSL by Hedi Slimane
le bomb was dropped again; the electronic duo has chosen to wear the legendary yves saint laurent’s le smoking in the new ysl ads. studded with black glitter, the jackets have an unparalleled fit.
shot by slimane as part of a series of rock star portraits, the series reconnects the brand with rock n’ roll again. the connection was established in 1971, when yves saint laurent dressed bianca jagger for her wedding with mick jagger. cool enough? by nk
