And there’s the conclusion you might have looked for. With a few seasons of Saint Laurent now under his belt, Vaccarello is making a stark, bold statement that was was entirely in character – mini cuts and statement shoulders. Following the runway, Anthony must know the glamour from the runway styling was often the hardest moment to pull off, hens myriad of pieces coming aside the runway collection. However the designers knows this part better than anyone. He does indulge himself with another side to this story, often present in the edgy menswear pieces and the androgynous womenswear looks.
The strength of a Saint Laurent collection by Vaccarello also comes from the materials, the opulent leather and velvet with a touch of fur turn heads along with embedded crystals. We are sure at the helm of such a powerhouse Vaccarello starts to work on his new collection tomorrow. The aesthetic of his days at the YSL headquarters is leaving nothing left to prove, now it’s all about making a legacy.
