He should write a review of the collection like how great is the loose fit as he usually did!

I'm pretty sure you can find those shiny jackets at a thrift shop (in inferior quality, of course, but what's the sense?) and I'm sorry, but buying menswear inspired suits from YSL was groundbreaking in the 70s when Bianca Jagger did it, but not nowadays when Zara and every second brand is producing that sort of stuff. As a woman, I am not going to spend a lot of money on designer suits, but I look to high fashion designers for the real creative and out of the ordinary stuff, the special clothes. They also better be modern, not some sort of nostalgic revival, because there are vintage and thrift shops for that.

Funny you’d mention that regarding the jackets, because it made me think back how since my teenage years, collarless 80ies jackets like that, with strong shoulders or leg-of-mutton sleeves were always left untouched on the rack of my local, very well stocked thrift shop at the time - And remain so if the look of kids on the street are to be believed.

I feel like that particular part of the 80ies (the Dynasty style by way of Ungaro, Escada and yes, also YSL etc.) doesn’t relate to anything today - You can twist and turn it as many times as you want, but it will remain pompous and heavy, much like Yves and Ungaro’s fashions felt terribly dated towards the end of their career.

Relative to the crap we have seen this season this is very good BUT relative to being a great YSL show its pretty average , those 40s-80s boxy suits would look great on men but the women are drowning in them, the minis seem random. 7/10 for me but 9/10 compared to say Dior

I don’t even think they would look great on a man because the neckline of those suits is very low and so it would be terribly unflattering on a man, who like a woman, also needs a silhouette on his suit.

I remember clearly the Dynasty Ungaro style when I was a kid and I remember always cringing whenever that series was aired on TV. For someone who is Gen X this style is so cliché pompous (and tacky old rich lady), it's everything no one who was a kid/teenager at the time wanted to ever look like. Perhaps for someone who is younger than 40, this is not the case. I blame the cultural generation gap to have a certain penchant for specific things and a distate for others. Yes, series, music, etc can really make you not being able to 'unsee' certain things.

Love it! Very 80s YSL coded. Cant wait for the campaign.

Empty as always. Looking at a SL show is like watching an influencer’s instagram or going to Pinterest. Just surface and not even an interesting one.
