After a day of press presentations and fashion shows, arriving at 20:00 for the last can be a reason of torture or infinite joy. But if we think of Saint Laurent, the second option definitely prevails. When the head of the brand was still the great Yves, there was no collection where some ingenious idea was not expected (like the tuxedo for women), something elegant and unconventional. If you wore something of Yves Saint Laurent, it is recognized immediately.
At Paris Fashion Week, a bit of that magic has fallen on the catwalk. With a first suit, white tulle: a mix between Carrie Bradshaw and a princess of pop punk like Avril Lavigne. Are we sure that this is Saint Laurent? Sure. A woman who is among the femme fatale, with her red lips, a bad girl from New York, with the smokey eye pulled down over her eyes, goes to play: laddered stockings or fishnets, leather leggings whole or cut, it does not matter.
She provokes, with short dresses in shiny leather, short coats of pure white (but only the color is), dresses with asymmetrical cuts that leave out the perfect top, pleated skirts that might seem bon ton, but gentlemen, it is only appearance. Slits and strategic cuts of skirts and tops glimpse of the female silhouette apparently hidden under coats shiny and silvery or dark and heavy. Do not miss the classic full typical Parisian, made of white shirt, pants and suspenders, perhaps the only time when you see the true essence of the Parisian woman. A collection that never explodes and implodes, irreverent and bold, that you never cease to wear in the evening to go to have fun and to wear the day to amaze.
Welcome to the realm of rock chic, by Saint Laurent.
