The latest from fashion designer/photographer Hedi Slimane and supermodel Agyness Deyn is an intriguing black and white editorial for the Man About Town Spring/Summer 2011 issue. At 28, the multitalented Deyn is one of the world's most well-known supermodels. She has appeared the US, UK, and Italian versions of [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care), and has starred in ad campaigns for [Burberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city), [Armani](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prisma-glass-lip-gloss) and Vivienne Westwood.

Hedi Slimane is similarly talented. From 2000-2007, he was the head designer of Dior Homme. Prior to that, he served as the head designer of Yves Saint Laurent. The duo's collaboration for the Man About Town Spring/Summer 2011 issue features a beautiful Deyn brooding in a series of androgynous photos both out and indoors.

Check out the the shoot to see what happens when two of the fashion world's most talented artists get together.
