== Early life == Slimane was born in the 11th arrondissement of Paris and grew up in the 19th arrondissement. His father was Tunisian and an accountant, and his mother was Italian and a seamstress. Two of his uncles were tailors. In his youth, he and his mother made clothes together: Slimane sketched designs, the two would shop for fabrics and complete fittings, and his mother would cut and sew them. He considered finding a career in the fashion industry although finding it too competitive; instead, he studied political science and pursued a career in journalism. At 11, he discovered photography, received his first camera and learned black and white darkroom printing. He studied art history at the École du Louvre and completed a tailor apprenticeship at a men's designer house.
