Anthony Vaccarello Marks 30th Saint Laurent Show With Bold, Practical Designs
Anthony Vaccarello presented his 30th collection for Yves Saint Laurent under the iconic Eiffel Tower, infusing the air with the scent of YSL Opium. The show, held in Paris, showcased Vaccarello's bold and confident designs, with a touch of repetition that's become a signature of his chic aesthetic.
Vaccarello, known for his fearlessness in repeating outfits, kicked off the show with a crisp white shirt featuring oversized cuffs and a sweeping bow, paired with a sleek leather pencil skirt. A standout piece was a leather jacket with exaggerated cuts and sculptural sleeves, serving as a powerful statement.
The collection was a celebration of block colors, with head-to-toe looks in navy, orange, green, yellow, purple, and khaki. Vaccarello's gowns, he noted, could be scrunched into a ball and still maintain their chic appeal. The designs embodied Yves Saint Laurent's signature simplicity, letting shape and material take center stage.
Every look was accessorized with simple court shoes and statement earrings, creating a cohesive accessories code. The front row was filled with stars like Charli XCX, Hailey Bieber, and Zoè Kravitz, all dressed in lace-trimmed shorts, skirts, and shell parkas. Sheer nylon added unexpected drama and practicality to parkas and floor-length gowns.
Vaccarello's 30th show for Yves Saint Laurent was a testament to his bold, confident, and practical design philosophy. The collection, with its repetition, block colors, and unexpected materials, is set to make a statement on the global fashion scene.
