Go inside Hedi Slimane's stunning California home:
— creative head is selling the Beverly Hills abode he's inhabited for the past nine years for $17.5 million. While that price tag is out of reach for most, the listing does provide a look at how Slimane has been living, and, as you can expect, it's luxurious.
Slimane's five-bedroom, six-bathroom home comes with an impressive pedigree: It was designed by Rex Lottery in 1961. The midcentury architectural gem, situated in the exclusive Trousdale Estates neighborhood , is the definition of indoor-outdoor with its glass walls. The home offers plenty of privacy, though, with a moat-like pond welcoming guests past a canopy of palms and hammocks. In the backyard, a pool is walled off by hedges and birds of paradise.
If Slimane is granted the listing price, he stands to make quite a profit — specifically, four times as much as the $4,650,000 he paid for it back in 2009. At the time, even that price tag was somewhat of a deal as the house was listed at $4,650,000. Outside of the fact that selling the house now is great business for Slimane, it's somewhat eyebrow-raising that he's unloading his home after unloading on Los Angeles. In his, Slimane gave a brash take on the city which has undergone many changes in the 10 years he's lived there."I arrived in California in 2008, and I was already very attracted to Los Angeles, where I frequently went since the end of the 1990s," he said.
