Continuing in the theme of his last book of candid black-and-white photographs, Stage, Hedi Slimane has once again put down his Dior Homme sketch pad and picked up the camera to document the still-nascent UK rock renaissance for his new art book. London: Birth of a Cult ($30, Steidl/7L) will hit stores later this month and, we're told, won't be reprinted, making it an instant, limited-edition classic. In the tribute, Slimane, having spent eighteen months all but stitched to Pete Doherty, aims to show a gentler side of the winsomely wayward British rocker, in contrast to his usual public image as the tabloid whipping boy both celebrated and criticized for his altercations, his drug use and his ambiguous relationship with Kate Moss. With its loaded, tightly-cropped images—i.e. Doherty drawing on walls with his own blood or clutching a cross, a mic cord tied around his neck like a noose, moshpits heaving like scenes of hell in Baroque paintings—the album portrays the former singer of the Libertines, now with the band Baby Shambles, as a charismatic general in a new British Invasion, one that perhaps won't be just a flash in the pipe.
