...as a former Balenciaga & DH client, I must disagree with you.. a lot of designers and yes high street chains have attempted the slim/skinny look but it really takes creative skillful tailoring to make the fit work and be comfortable (especially for a man). hedi has been perfecting this for years and i believe it shows in fit. your link proved Guesquiere got it wrong and i can testify it was indeed. I am not btw an apologist for skinny in clothing, I've personally moved on and appreciate volume. This particular line is a sub-line, a kind of on going experiment and tribute to his skinny legacy, it does not mean the main Saint Laurent line will focus on skinny, although over-sized like you mentioned is perhaps unlikely, let's not take things too far...
