The Garden are a relatively obscure band based in Southern California who follow in that same tradition of soundtrack to the laid back skater punk lifestyle of oli flippin' and cigarette smokin' in mama's basement. Here they are, photographed in their home by photographer and YSL creative director Hedi Slimane. Back in January 2013, The Garden, consisting of twins Wyatt & Fletcher Shears, were invited to walk the runway of the YSL's menswear debut at the Grand Palais. You can pick up The Garden's impressive latest album Everything Is Perfect on their bandcamp page.
Portrait of a Defeated Architecture by Hedi Slimane
Hedi Slimane's newest edition of his Defeated Architecture series appropriately takes advantage of an American landscape not unaffected by an afflicted economy; here Slimane's location is an abandoned commercial structure in Palm Springs, California.
