Saint Laurent - The All-Things Saint Laurent Thread

She is stunning and a goddess !! Anthony better not disappoint and should stop with the one or two look repeated over and over in different colours. He needs to knock this one out of the park, especially with closing fashion month !

They can't afford doing anything different at the moment, they need easily merchandisable basics.
Until the Gucci downfall is properly addressed and attacked by Kering, all their top brands are forced to go autopilot (look at Balenciaga)

Vaccarello has to be one of the luckiest designers right now. First he got the job with his limited capabilities and now he just keeps sending archive looks down the runway while enjoying being a producer for Kering's money.

It goes without saying that he’s a basic b!tch. And all that mediocrity is forgiven when he rolls out the campaigns. He’s been going through everyone’s fashion archive and every old issues of Franca’s Vogue to Fabien’s Arena Homme Plus— and likely even TFS archives, to mine for his campaigns. And good for him.

The dinner they organised in Venice looked impressive. I was surprised to see something as opulent in 2025. Whoever was responsible for the decorations did a great job.

...and that's exactly the reason why you find ball gowns sold at 30k...
By looking at these prices, I always think the fashion pack is really scamming wealthy bored people and living off their checks.

But you know that when you buy a Saint-Laurent gown or hoodie you pay extra because you are somehow becoming an indie-artsy movie producer yourself ,
That's their implicit story-telling....

Anthony is collecting movie awards faster than fashion ones :

I’ll never forgive him for his involvement with the cinematic war crime that was Emilia Perez.

Controversy surrounding the film aside (which was A LOT and I didn't even keep up with it, but stuff like the director boasting he made zero research on Mexican culture and saying there's no Mexican acting talent), the film's narrative is a chaotic mess. It attempts to weave together a gritty crime thriller, a domestic drama, and a story of trans identity, but the result is a convoluted and tonally inconsistent experience. The plot feels disjointed, jumping from one idea to the next without giving any of them the weight they deserve.

Don't even get me started on the film's approach to its central themes and how deeply problematic and inaccurate the subjects were handed. It tries to tackle topics like trans identity and Mexican culture, yet it does so with a troubling lack of authenticity (which given what the director said, makes sense lol - all the Spanish has terrible pronunciation too). The portrayal of Mexico leans on regressive stereotypes, and the depiction of the trans experience feels superficial and tropey. The film seems to use these identities as a dramatic facade rather than engaging with them in a genuine way.

tl;dr it's Oscar-bait that focuses more on ticking all the right boxes for what should be a good and "progressive" film that critics will love than on actually making a good and "progressive" film.

And Oscar voters are so out of touch that they think it elevates some social messaging that they can pat themselves on the back for nominating. Obviously this doesn't just apply to Oscar voters, but just people in general that are unfamiliar with these topics. Like yeah, if you've never met a Mexican or a trans person, sure, you might think it was good because you have no point of reference, lol.

I want to try them! And probably kick someone with them ahaha!
I can’t go over 12cm though.

They looked more on the 9 cm side, because of the curvy virgule heel, but they are 11cm (4,3 inches).

 

[FashionPower]

More obnoxious prices from Anthony, even basic heels are priced at 2k nowadays...

 

[reese06]

To be fair that particular shoe is the runway version with more exaggerated and stylized design and toe. The commercial shoes are $1k to 1.3k.

As I typed that out I realized how crazy that still sounds. Prices are out of control Carry on @FashionPower

There was a video that Wisdom Kaye posted on his TikTok where he spent 18k at Miu Miu. He was upset because the zipper pull broke as soon as he got home from the store on one piece and a button fell off on another.
As he’s buttoning up the jacket and showing the damage, another button literally pops off. For quality, I think Miu Miu is one of the worst and overpriced brands.
