Saint Laurent S/S 2026 Paris

What a shame new york milan london. We have to wait until to paris have some real fun huh. 😁, limited but good. He's selling you a look ,The Look is leather , white shirt , nylon trench coat , nylon vampire gown , all from the archives , but updated just a little bit. Sweet not confusing but it needed more.

I remember the complaint of tom ford was that he wasn't a good designer , but if you go back and you look at his shows , there's so many items to buy tank tops , shirts , skirts , day , cocktail evening , everything in between. We see none of that today. This collection only offers three looks.

Theatricality is the replacement for emptiness but it works. The set was amazing.
There's no way of collection like this.Takes more than a day to sketch out if he's sketches?
I'm feeling and hoping for a return to this type of grandeur all around back to beautiful earrings.Beautiful jewelry, women and stockings ruffles and female power, so i'm all in
 
It was a good show but overall it somehow had less impact for me than the previous two seasons, despite the fact that the YSL flower garden set in Place du TrocadĂŠro was quite magnificent (it always shocks me how SL are able to shut down such a major venue just like that for FW).

The leather looks with the oversized blouses at the beginning were rather repetitive, but I spotted a few pieces that were more fitted amongst that section which looked better. And despite being so ridiculous, I kind of thought the oversized 80s dresses were a highlight. I can see those working well in editorial, well in the hands of a good stylist (aka not Elodie David).
 
As always he has nothing to say design wise but he says it extremely well! I miss some of his first shows wich were less perfect but had lot of surprises (like the one with the mega-feathered dresses). Yes this as always is gorgeous to watch live, but when you look at the pictures you get bored quickly. What I really appreciate of him is how he takes the most dèmodè dresses from the archive and makes them look so modern and cool. It’s the opposite of AM, who references the archives, makes a gorgeous dress with impeccable details but it looks old. Here you have a dress that looks poorly made in comparison to the original one but it looks cool!

Styling changes everything. Vaccarello dresses parisian vamps. It will always be cooler than Michele's wallflowers in dusty clothes.
 
I don’t really see it at a glance … are there certain looks from each you’re comparing?
Not the exact same looks, but the inspiration and the vibe was giving very Moschino SS18: the venue with the flower appliques and the leather jacket and caps. On the Moschino runway, the leather jackets were mostly cropped, heavily studded and paired with ballerina tulle skirts, but the first half of the collection heavily relied on leather. I assume both designers wanted to show the clash of a modern woman between the delicacy of the flowers / ballerina and the toughness of the leather.
 
the fabric for the sleeves, tails/backs of the ballgowns just looks quite cheap in most if not all angles. was hard to place a theme for this show. the first half seemed like a fall/winter collection, and some of the second as well. still better than most of the shows we've seen in the past month or so.
 
From Anthony POV, YSL only existed during the 80s...he just worked for 10 years and that´s all. The rest of his work does not matter at all.

Once again the same 80s hideous clothes regurgitated (those trench-dresses look like they are made of plastic garbage bags).

The set is everything here. Just put this "collection" of 3 looks in different colours in the same runway where YSL presented his HC (at the Intercontinental Hotel), and it would put in focus how mediocre is Anthony.
 
I'm totally ok with this collection. It's completely vapid but I would say it sits on the right side of ostentatious. I DO like the contrast between chunky religious jewelry and the watery fabrics. And I don't even mind the very unimaginative glamor.

But it's clearly a collection that was solely conceived to be nothing but a French TOURISM AD.
 
He's entered the same (burnout?) stage as Ghesquiere in his last years at Balenciaga, basically just creates 3 looks, multiplies each by 20, changes the colors and calls it a day. Arranging the flowers definitely took longer than coming up with this collection..
 
I can't never hate a Saint Laurent show with a shining Eiffel tower in the background combined with the stunning music by Sebastian, just perfect.

My favorite looks are the leather ones and the trench coats. I know it's not very SS-friendly, but it's all good.
Anthony is maybe not a very skilled dressmaker because the final gowns show that, they may have added a little bit of drama, but their sloppy execution kinda ruined the allure a little bit.
But he is a strong stylist/image maker because I'm mesmerized by his total look of his women, I love the combination of big earrings and sunglasses. They really go all out for jewelry this season.

In some way the set design reminds me of Yves's last show, the logo and the white flower, and the final music has a really melancholic feeling to it, very emotional to me. When will his contract end?
 
According to Vogue, this collection was inspired by female nudity and Mapplethrope, while the setting of the models weaving through flowers was inspired by gay cruising in the Tuileries:
At first, you couldn’t tell it from ground level, but the banks of white hydrangeas we were all admiring—while the Eiffel Tower was busy doing its twinkling thing somewhere to our left—were actually laid out to spell YSL. (Drone footage revealed this on our phones, while we were simultaneously spectating on the arrivals of Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, Central Cee, Jean-Paul Gaultier and, eventually, Madonna and her daughter Lourdes.)

It was a spectacular cinematic outdoor setting for a show laden with Saint Laurent codes; an event which draws hundreds more spectators beyond those with a seat on the inside. The message? Well, to start with, Paris at night is synonymous with Yves Saint Laurent, and under cover of darkness all manner of libertine behaviors may be savored and condoned. Or that’s how it used to seem in the mythology of the 1970s and 1980s, when Saint Laurent was at his height and sex and glamour and ‘permissiveness’ were owned and glorified as quintessentially French in the pages of Vogue’s Paris edition, celebrated in the photography of Helmut Newton.

A far-off age indeed, in these times of the rise of the Trad Wife. “Louche aristocrat” is how Anthony Vaccarello typified the throwback look of the women who began to stalk in their shiny, pointy slingback stilettos around those gravel paths. At first, they were wearing power-shouldered black leather biker-jacketed pencil-skirted suits, with crisp, outstanding white p*ssy-bow blouses exaggerated almost to the point of going rogue. Definitely not sweet, domesticated little p*ssies, anyhow. Vaccarello had first used them this way in his hit menswear collection of fall ’23, he reminded us backstage.

But what were these mesdames up to, treading around this beautiful formal garden at night? One of them, in full leather—a matching corset, skirt and jacket—was wearing a black leather military cap. Vaccarello mentioned Robert Mapplethorpe in his show notes. “I wanted to start with, like, the idea of cruising from the gay scene in the Tuileries [gardens],” he said. “I wanted to redo it [here] in front of the Trocadero, having these women in leather cruising round a big YSL.”

How far can you go to be subversive and sexually charged in fashion in days like ours when women, even on film festival red carpets, have been ordered to cover up? Vaccarello—himself much involved with the movie world these days, of course—seemed to be pushing this point with the next passage of his show. Voila: the Saint Laurent raincoat and day dress, classics of the house which once turned bourgeois, now redone in multiple shades of thin, slippery-looking body-clinging nylon, covered from neck to knee with quite obviously nothing-much if anything underneath. “Yes, because it’s still about nudity,” Vaccarello shrugged. “A confrontation?” a journalist in the room suggested. “Yes. C’est Saint Laurent” he concurred, smiling.

The third passage was very Saint Laurent, too—in full-blown romantic historical mode. These billowing dresses—memories, perhaps, of Yves Saint Laurent’s landmark haute couture shows—were also made of nylon. Voluminous of skirt and sleeve, ruffled furiously in front, they formed a long parade of gorgeous colors, flowing in the night breeze. Vaccarello pointed out that the material means that a woman can just scrunch her evening gown up in a ball. Still, through all the voluminousness, there were still glimpses of the female form. “She goes from radical leather, a kind of hard woman that goes softly, softly, softly into these dresses,” he concluded with a glint in his eye. “But she’s the same woman. She’s not as soft as we think.”

I’ve got so much mixed feelings about this collection but I like the white blouses in the first section of the show

I feel “choked” when I saw the gowns… too much fabric… too much (I think they will only exist on the runway and will never make it to the store, maybe on some middle east clients I guess)
 
Imaging this: you're prowling through the park for some twink bussy and you suddenly hear electronic music accompanied by an eerie choir and a piano riff.
🤣😂🤣😂😂 that's a part of the movie.It's a really good movie, and then he dies of AIDS.Anybody knows it? I saw it on the Ifc channel when I was a kid. I think he's dating a cop and a cop is bisexual. Anyways, all of that makes me love the collection even more.
By the way, I always hated cruising. Because why are we in public i Have a really nice bed and? Dark green emeral velvet sheets.
 
I find it downright despicable how Antony Vaccarello seems to be stuck in his childhood, where all he probably did was playing dress-up with his Barbie dolls - His designs have no reality other than on that particular skinny & leg-y creature that is never caught dead wearing anything other than clothes and shoes that emphasize her status as an object of a gay man’s 2D fantasy of a woman…
