I like the presentation on the runway, but in reality it is just another story. I agree that they need to slightly alter the silhouette (maybe shorter jacket length or size down would help).
I d definitely go a size down in jacket and throw away the large tie, I’d wear it with a super slip Dior Homme by Hedi tie.
But seeing it next to his (who is he btw ?) suit, I am starting to understand and appreciate Anthony’s proposition. I think it’s just a matter of styling.
And he started a trend, at least in Paris, of women wearing their husbands’ old suits, or thrifting mens suits. But with super high heels. Or just maybe a micro-trend, its only the 4th time I have spotted it in the people I know.
 
But honestly I am super biased because I see the RtW (Ford, Pilati, Hedi or AV) primarily through my eyes which are a 100% immerged in Yves’s couture and keep wandering what Couture clients would have like , because obviously Nan bought a lot of RtW too. At YSL, RTW has often been a derivative of couture.

I wasn't expecting women to actually pick up on this look, considering how large the shapes are. Let's hope this translates to better sales in 2025. Kering needs it.

Stephen Colbert. He's a late night show host and comedian, who does satire and political commentary. Quite popular in the US.

just out of interest, what is your impression of how an YSL couture client would have responded to this proposition? If the women you're seeing are able to adapt the look by wearing their husbands' old suits, and if the fit of AV's suits off the rack is problematic, what would be the value of buying AV's version?

When I think of Yves' couture, I think of the attention he put into adapting men's clothes, sometimes in the subtlest ways, to a woman's body. It was never just "put a big man's suit on a woman" - even when he did oversized proportions, there was a different sensuality in the cut.
 
This reminds me of the Anne-Marie Muñoz story posted by blueorchid in the RANDOM thread.
Yves giving advise to poor Moscow ladies "who obviously had nothing": You know how to knit, right? Buy some wool. If you have good legs, the skirt can be shorter..."
In this case, if you have nothing, go to Primark.

I agree, an YSL couture client would have scoffed at Anthony's proposition, both jackets and trousers. It's amateurish for couture but OK I guess in the context of RTW: launching trends and being ahead of the fashion conversation.
edit: just like this Primark, I expect mens suits from all the fast-fashion now.
