Saint Laurent S/S 2026 Paris

Great set, Tried collection. It is ok and non-offensive. But with the 80s trends in the season, he will get more praises than it deserves.
 
Vacarello's seems to be forever trapped in YSL of 1984-86 and has not moved out. Its extremely repetitive and while the clothes can make for great editorials they just dont look good irl , I would know I remember them the first time they came around. He is turning into Isabal Marant.
 
I hate dusty, dusty Saint Laurent post-Yves peak and Anthony seems to be all up in it! You know that era that reeks of licensing and YSL ciggies.

However I think he makes it work with the scenography, even if the clothes are an afterthought. I don’t know how to approach the pieces, sure there will be women who will identify with that fantasy but it’s still all so too curated for my liking. Add to the fact that the bags don’t reflect this haute fantasy Anthony is whipping up. They really should do something with those.

I like Saint Laurent when there’s a transgressive, perverse element to the bourgeois. That element of danger is missing here and so goes with it the sexiness.
 
This collection is coherent and confident in its daywear propositions. The clothes are well-made, the accessories thoughtfully curated. But the color palette and silhouettes feel safe, recycling the archives. The gowns are exercises in theatrical excess without clear purpose.
 
You don't know any woman who could afford to live the Saint Laurent lifestyle, of sex, glamour, and decadence.
That's okay tho.

You know, I don’t think I would enjoy the company of that kinda woman if I’m being honest.

I don’t think a woman’s intrigue or supposed power comes from how daring and attention grabbing her clothes are - and even then, I would within a heartbeat rather gravitate towards the clothes and storytelling of a man like Haider Ackermann that gives his women a quality that Antony Vaccarello knows nothing about: Grace.
 
As a bisexual man, I'm cautiously asking why.
Well personally for me, I tend to stay away from those are a little too reliant on the iconography of it because a lot of gays treat it as the be all and end all of “queer/gay art”. It’s an easy go to but also bit of a cop out. Expand artistic horizons I say.

No hate to the artist himself, just to those that can’t tear themselves away from it as their sole artistic reference. Akin to those that obsess over “call me by your name” and similar novels. There’s more to queer artistry, literature and philosophy than the obvious creative consumables.
 
Every time someone complains about polyester or synthetics in fashion I show them one of these SS08 dresses.
Some of the people who talks about it are not educated enough or forget that part of the work of a fashion designer is also to push fabrics development and work on the characteristic of fabrics. They only see things through the paradigm of fast fashion.
