U-Hedi Slimane ungena endaweni yokucima ukoma…kuzwakala sengathi ukuqala kwehlaya. Kodwa akuyona ihlaya ngebhendi efana noFroth, owasuka ekubeni yinhlanganisela ye-Echo Park ne-1,528 Facebook ethandwa abenzi bomsindo we-soundtrack ye-Saint Laurent show kusihlwa. UNkulunkulu wazi kuphela ukuthi uSlimane wabathola kanjani, kodwa umbono womklami ongena endaweni yokucima ukoma, ezwa ibhendi futhi ewabhulela umculo kaSaint Laurent unengane engenakuvinjelwa ye-Kid-I'm-Gonna-Make-You-a-Star. twist.U-Froth's Joo-Joo Ashworth uthweswe iziqu e-El Segundo High School ngo-2012. U-Jeff Friborg waphothula esikoleni esifanayo ngo-2008. Wayeklama ubuciko bamabhendi endawo, obudala ukuxhumana no-Raymond Pettibon, umdwebi ophothifoliyo yakhe ye-Slimane- ed esimemweni sakhe (lezi zimemo, btw, sezivele ziyiqoqo lemfashini elisezingeni eliphezulu). UPettibon wayejwayele ukudizayina imikhono yebhendi yomfowabo, izinganekwane zaseCalifornian hardcore Black Flag.
Akekho umuntu ongathinta uSlimane ngalolu hlobo lwe-fanboy completism kwezemfashini. Angakwazi ukucwebezela ibhendi yakho yonke yasegaraji ngesethulo esiyinkimbinkimbi se-son-et-lumière, kodwa umoya wakhe ukubantwana ababehlezi phansi embukisweni wanamuhla ebusuku.
UyiPied Piper yabo. Izingubo zakhe ziyakhuluma kubo. Ekabani imilenze ezophinde ibe yileyo stovepipe-y? Noma kunjalo, uSlimane ungusomabhizinisi futhi ungumklami. Namuhla ebusuku, unwebe indawo yakhe ngeqoqo elilinganisa ukuthungwa kwenotshi, u-Teddy Boy esikhundleni se-punk egijima ngesivinini, amajakhethi agqinsile kunokuba amabhamuza ashwabene. Kanye namajazi akhethiwe abemuhle kakhulu avela ezulwini lezingubo zangaphandle: i-digital tweed, i-micro-leopard print, i-maxi-houndstooth mohair, into enemithende, futhi okuhle kunakho konke, ithambo le-herringbone elibenyezela sengathi ligandaywe ngama-sequin.
Kwakuyisikhathi sokuzindla ukuthi uSlimane ukujikijela kanjani i-Lurex eluhlaza okotshani, ibhantshi elinengwe eligolide elimnyama, i-blazer yesikhumba emnyama ephila nezikhonkwane ezisiliva, futhi konke kumane kungene ku-ethos yakhe yedizayini ye-steamroller. I-lyric ye-Froth ithi, "Noma yini oyifundayo kulula ukuyikholelwa." Kodwa abagxeki carp. Izingubo ziyakhuluma.
