MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM

CELINE creative director Hedi Slimane has long had an intimate relationship with rock’n’roll. Having dressed musicians from bands such as The Strokes and The Libertines over the years, Slimane’s work at CELINE now continues to set the tone for a compelling marriage between contemporary fashion and the underground music scene. 

The latest chapter in this collaboration comes as Slimane partners up with Utopia and Pulse Film’s official Sundance Selection documentary Meet Me in the Bathroom. Directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, this film is based on the successful oral history written by author Elizabeth Goodman. 

Featuring legendary bands such as The Moldy Peaches, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and LCD Soundsystem, this documentary film adaptation of Goodman’s book by the same name covers the meteoric rise of these underground music stars, against the backdrop of New York’s Lower East Side dive bars and its gritty city streets. 

To celebrate the New York and LA premieres of Meet Me in the Bathroom, still-life images taken by Hedi Slimane have been combined into a limited release concert poster. And these images perfectly capture the eponymous era of rock ‘n’ roll revival that the film charts between the years of 2001 and 2011—a time of electric emotions and freedom untethered. 

In honour of this iconic era in music history, we have curated a special playlist inspired by Meet Me in the Bathroom and the bands that it captures.
