Product Description
Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane has always stood at the intersection of fashion, art and music. Over the past 10 years, his slick, sexy designs and signature cut have revolutionized menswear. Several bodies of his photographic work--2005's London Birth of a Cult and his ongoing "Rock Diary" series for V magazine--have documented underground rock culture at its loudest and most extreme. In this latest project, Slimane teams up with the editors of Visionaire and V to deliver Portrait of a Performer, an exclusive photojournal devoted to the provocative musician and muse, Courtney Love. Shot in New York in August of 2006, just before the release of Love's latest record, the intimate black-and-white studies capture the American pop icon, semi-nude, just before her return to the Billboard charts--defiant, mesmerizing, flawed and vulnerable. Portrait of a Performer documents a highly charged encounter between two creative forces who have influenced rock and fashion, each on their own terms.

little disappointment January 25, 2008
Dell'elce Paolo (milan, ITALY)
I just received my copy of Portrait of a Performer.
It is a slim elegant bookzine containing just around 20 pictures of Courtney Love (you can see all them on Slimane's website).
The print quality is really low, and the paper quality too.
to avoid if you are looking for a well done book of photographies.
On the other hand a must for every Hedi fanatic (as everything he does).
Definitly not the best work by mr. Slimane.
Despite being a limited edition of 2500 copies I guess it will never reach the price of a
Masterpiece as London Birth of a Cult.
