Paris Fashion Week: Saint Laurent’s show progresses from dark to colourful
Creative director Anthony Vaccarello designs barely there leather hot pants matched with sleek Le Smoking jackets
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, Saint Laurent’s autumn/winter 2018 show was packed with statement outfits that highlighted creative director Anthony Vaccarello’s modern take on the heritage house.
Black set the tone for the collection. Models opened the show with barely there leather hot pants matched with sleek Le Smoking jackets, see-through lace shirts and tops embroidered or trimmed with tassels.
The exaggerated strong shoulder details as well as plunging necklines from the spring collection continue in the autumn/winter season.
“The show begins with dark silhouettes, a sharp mysterious elegance, and then it turns into a colourful, opulent atmosphere, a bright spirit,” Vaccarello says. “I really like woman’s duality, [it’s] very Saint Laurent.”
