Saint Laurent Menswear F/W 2024.25 Paris

Considering that Yves was the first designer to show bare breasts on a runway, this is very on-brand.
Both yslforever and your post made me think again how sexless Vaccarello's imagery actually is. Everything he does always feels so flat when compared to the references he uses. YSL's and Newton's work had the sincerity and reflected the interests and desires of its authors. With Anthony it's always very superficial.

I want to say that it's the Belgian in him, but then I remember that it's a recurrent issue with a lot of current generation of designers: a sexuality that is provocative, but lacking in warmth and intimacy. Funny enough, his idol, Tom Ford, was capable of infusing sex into the most modest of designs.

That's a great observation. I would like to add though In this case I would compare Anthony to Steven Klein.

Klein is hyperstylized, high gloss and very orchestrated, "superficial" as you say. A curated spectacle.

This is TOO Many tones of grey together and makes it look cheap.

A classic example of when mixing cool and warm tones together dont gel. If they were all one or the other it would work, but also the fact all the colours look super different in natural light.
