Yves Saint Laurent Mens F/W 08.09 Paris

i agree!
complete win!
i don't like the wide leg trousers in this collection though.....they sit in a way that makes them look a bit flare-y.

that's what i LOVED about the pants!

i'm a skinny-wearer at heart and will always be (well for now lol)

but those pants are killer, i can't lie!

the more i look at this collection the more props i give to Stefano! I'm adding this brand to my favorites list!

I think this collection is by far one of my favorites this season. I look at it and just want it all in my closet.

ultimately i am still not liking that wide leg which looks terribly italian...very pilati...


imo YSL is inextricably french with a dash of brit and that shows up later with the narrow pant leg silhouettes...shich are far more appealing and successful in my mind...

great collection though...
hoping that the women's collection is this strong..

I can't pick a favourite - almost every look is one, and they are all so different too.

I must say I can't believe it's Pilati because this is so much sexier and more streamlined than his other collections, especially his women's collection. This SS08 was a tad better than the past, yet he hasn't found a way to make sharp, effortless, dandy, cool tailored wear like these for the women's collection, the way YSL did Le Smoking. Come to think of it, there's sadly no equivalent designers I can think of for women, it's always society dresses, frou, boring tailored pieces (think Martin Grant) or deconstructed "intelligent" designs like the Belgiums or Japanese. I looked carefully at my closet, even Jil Sander doesn't have this same sharp sexy silhouette.

I envy you guys sometimes!

You can have it! For god sake, Take it! ...

Probably one of the worst collections, I have seen so fare(Ok, I'll admit Number (N)ine and Dior Homme is quite up there!) and to even call this "artsy" must be some kind of sick twisted irony. To key elements is missing to label this as art: Becoming and Reinvention, this has neither.

So I have to agree with Cathy Horyn when she was saying why Pilati didn't make this for women. These clothes look so feminine. Even the model posed like he were a female model. These clothes look too beautiful and too sophisticated, kind of "a boyish doll, without any attitude".

Bingo! Add Lanvin and Prada to that and we have collected all the boy dolls. Reminds you of Mick jagger?! He has attitude and sex appeal, this has none!

Give me some of that "deconstructed "intelligent" designs like the Belgiums or Japanese"(be careful Zazie, that's a lot of diversity, you labeling under one!) any day, that's yummy!

It's interesting that they are trying to bring back the wide/slightly flared pants, which were big around 3-4 years ago. Will these sell?
