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.
In the mid late 80s , such women DID exist wearing big shouldered suits with a tonne of make up smelling like Ysatis or Poison by 91-92 they vanished completely , only vestige of this would be a very few South American rich women who still have this aesthetic , but none of the chic women in Paris are gonna rock this. The issue with Vacarello his clothes I find lack emotion
 
I loved this collection.
The concept of adapting Yves' own personal style to the collections is so smart to me.
Great silhouettes, loved the volume and the range of this collection from start to finish. Great tie-in's from menswear to this womenswear collection as well. I love continuity between mens and womenswear. Vaccarello continues to grow his vision.
 
after the barrage of t*tties last season, he's now strong-arming us with power shoulders.

riveting.

this man is a broken record. nice color palette, but c'mon...
there's no balance in his work. it's whiplash. he oscillates from one extreme to the next, no gradual crescendo, just a loud clang and some setting trickery to make you feel as though his collection is more appealing than it is.

YSL is a cliché to him. a caricature devoid of emotion. he designs for 80s robots and androids. it's like we're watching him slowly check off his list of every avatar yves' designs were based off of. it's odd. odd behavior.
 
It’s a good show, even though it’s quite repetitive. I don’t know who style his show or Anthony style his own shows. But he is a really good at selling you the universe of his Saint Laurent. It’s very alluring and glamorous.

Again like the majority of his SL shows, I keep coming back for the SebAstian soundtrack. They’re chef kiss, sometimes they even better than the clothes.

But what surprised me the most is that during the finale I noticed MAS is in the front row seat. Which is quite surprising for me considering her strong relationship with LVMH nowadays, is she on terms with the Pinault now?
 
Is she pregnant? The looseness makes it look like a stereotype of someone who's trying to hide some pounds.
 
not sure.. everything looks like it was cut well and doing what they're supposed to be doing. Things fall where theyre supposed to and i dont see the pregnant reference. But then again, im one of the few who enjoyed the collection.
 
I think the problem with Haily is that she just doesn’t have the height to pull off this collection but the styling is not bad. To say that, I do like this collection and hope to see people with the right attitude to wear this collection in the future.
If the excuse for this collection is that it works, but only for women taller than Hailey Beiber, then this collection must be a WNBA exclusive because Hailey is 5'8, that's five whole inches taller than the average woman.

Not every collection can--or should--be for everyone, but if your clothes look bad on 95% of the customer base, maybe it's time to rethink the designs.
 
I agree with you concerning the slight boxiness of the jackets but still I am for it.
The first look of that show was one of my fashion moments last season.
 
Anthony isn’t a couturier at all. There is definitely too much fabrics, I think the jackets are too long and too boxy.
I quite like the longer jacket lengths, but I agree. It feels very overwhelming to look at, especially on non-models. A slightly nipped-in waist or slightly curved back would've acted as a nice visual anchor. As much as I despise Demna's Balenciaga, I think that this is a good example of a oversized suit:

The silhouette is cut large, but it doesn't completely swallow her body.
 
Love that Balenciaga suit on Eliza.
But I think conceptually the Saint Laurent is different.

When you cut the suit so perfectly to the woman's body, the result is androgynous (Eliza).
At St Laurent, at least in my head, it looks like the woman stole the suit from her lover (and I find this very sexy 😅)

It is also the same difference between Marlene Dietrich's ambiguous black tuxedo in Morocco and the masculine white tuxedo in Blonde Venus (the two Josef von Sternberg movies).

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).
