Saint Laurent S/S 2025 Paris

I'm conflicted about this one. He is really good at creating an image, you want to think that woman is real, with her big tailoring, small skirts, gipsy dresses but it feels like a mirage.
 
couple of those tailored suits would’ve been enough instead of that boring array parading around… no one’s into 80’s suits anymore and Armani did them much better.

the lace outfits/ miniskirts could’ve been great, feminine and sexy but all those colours combined were absolutely horrendous and destroyed them for me.

the brocade jackets despite looking luxurious are completed dated, blaming also that ridiculous combo of colours. the styling was a BIG NO from me.
 
Gorgeous clothes and a gorgeous presentation. That’s how you create a mood (or feeling... Mr. De Sarno, are you listening?) and deliver good clothes. It’s not the best collection ever—the styling got a bit weird towards the end—but it’s so refreshing to feel the Saint Laurent woman’s aura. It’s delicious and quite mysterious. This with the last fall collection is building a legendary build up.

My fashion dream is for a house to create an ambiance and marketing like this, but with clothes at the level of Armani.

He's an image maker that's what makes him great Tom Ford was also an image maker but his woman was well kinda real or at least she became real over time.
 
So where was The botch surgery because she looks really good
It's on her body. She gained some weight following her pregnancy, so she had cryolipolysis treatment (essential "freezing" the fat off) done. Instead of the fat cells dying, they hardened in firm masses all over her body. She also had breast cancer and had to get a double masectomy.
 
there is some Elbaz-like drama here (even in the dark setting), which i appreciate; but the YSL really comes through in the lady-suits as well as those printed pantsuits with the long beaded necklaces.
 
This makes me miss the likes of Ungaro, Elbaz, and Lacroix all the more now because even though this ticks so many boxes for me, it just fails. Looks more like a simulation than anything. There's just no life or embodiment to this.
Alber's girls could really walk! That what makes the girl totally different.

I do like the last part with the brocade and jewel tone. Editorially it must be a hit and distinctive of the season. As for the suiting part, he already tried this approach in winter 2023. But clearly he's designing just for shows because how many people can pull this off even in real life piece by piece.
 
To straight men in this thread...do you find women attractive in these big shoulder armors?
As a straight woman, I can speak for my husband… And my straight friends.
I have two blazers that have big shoulders and one jacket that is oversized (but it doesn’t look sloppy as the fabric is thick) and everytime I wear them I gets called: « Le frigo » (The fridge).
And they hates flats shoes with square toes so when I wear the combo, it’s Hell (but heaven for me) lol.

I am laughing so hard right now mdr
 
My insider sources just told me studio and merchandisers will be adding matching skirts, denim and leather miniskirts, hot pants with the suits. So the customers will be able to style the jacket-suit-tie combos with a skirt, miniskirt or hotpant. Anthony approved the move, but not decided yet if it the new pieces will be in the lookbook or just appearing in stores.
 
Brocade and jewel tone… aren’t those (YSL Spring 2012) what that got Stefano Pilati fired from YSL in the first place…?
If only it was a collection that got him fired…
It was circumstances. He wasn’t getting along with management, Pierre Bergé was using his « pouvoir de nuisance » in the press (for quite some time at that point).
Good or bad collection, he wasn’t renewed anyway.
The clothes weren’t selling that much anyway as the business became really accessories focused in the last few years of Stefano.

Hedi was brought up to develop the RTW, something he did eventually.

The irony is that while the house is bigger today, RTW represent in percentage less than it did under Stefano, even if they sells more.
