Hedi Slimane took to the streets of London and spent four days shooting and street-casting. Nicola Formichetti helped out with styling the shoot:

“Hedi is inspirational to work with. The whole project was so much fun!  The shoot was 4 days long and we’d go out every night searching for kids to shoot the next day. We are both so happy with the final edit! The aim was to create a definitive record of London youth right now through Hedi’s timeless style.”

“Every model has their own story with this shoot. There were kids that we had our eyes on in the earliest stages of research and there were kids that we approached having a coffee on brick lane. We found people at gigs, in clubs, everywhere. for the week of the shoot we basically went anywhere we thought we would find amazing characters and then shot them the next morning.”

The final edit of the shoot can be seen in the January issue of Dazed & Confused which hits the news stands next week. Meanwhile, go to Dazed Digital for more of the amazing photos of British youth.

For the January issue of Dazed & Confused, the magazine asked everyone under 18 and living in the UK to get in touch with an idea for an article about what it means to be young and British today. With the idea landing on homepages from Myspace to Channel 4, the inboxes at Dazed & Confused soon started to buckle under the strain… so, they thought they asked the readers to do the cover as well.

All of the fashion for this issue was shot over three days by designer Hedi Slimane, on a portfolio of British youth street-cast from various locations around London. You can now download a Dazed cover template and three of Hedi’s images. If you want to use one (or all) of them, go for it – they’re yours to do with as you like. You can do what you want with the images or use a completely different image of your own, that’s fine, too. The idea is to get an attractive and revealing Dazed cover that says something about what it’s like to be young and British today. If you’re from a different country, you’re welcome to take part and just make a cover about what it’s like to be young today in your country.

If you are under 18 send all entries (JPEG format, ideally) to stephen.ll@dazedgroup.com by Thursday November 20th and be sure to include your name, age and where you live. Happy designing.
