Hedi Slimane, the creative director of Saint Laurent, has unveiled his first short film starring the brand’s newly redesigned ballerina shoe.

The minute and a half long clip shot by Slimane in NYC  is the first time we’ve seen the designer move behind the movie camera to present his uncompromising reimagination of the Saint Laurent aesthetic.

His latest project for the famed Parisian label stars model and dancer Lida Fox. Alongside her classical training she’s also managed appearances in shows for Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood, and was also shot by famed photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book.

Dressed in a matching leather bandeau top and pants, worn with a grunge-chic-inspired checked shirt, Fox shows off the capabilities of the shoes in an industrial-looking warehouse space, executing a series of complex pirouettes, turns and leaps.

It’s all performed to a lo-fi soundtrack titled “Trick or Treat” written and sung by Clementine Creevy of LA-based band Cherry Glazerr. Not bad for a first go, eh?
