Saint Laurent effortlessly update the varsity classics.
Signature Script Denim Shirt | Heartbreak Tee | Skinny Fit Damaged Jean
Continuing to impress in his new position as Creative Director at the iconic French Maison, Anthony Vaccarello's interpretation of the Saint Laurent man this season centres on the reinvention of classic varsity silhouettes.
Clearly superbly skilled in his development of fashion-forward outerwear with a demonstrable commercial relevance, Vaccarello's strength this season comes from a richly textured a detailed exploration of iconic Americana-inspired sportswear staples. Evolving the accessibility of the rock-and-roll aesthetic of his predecessor, Hedi Slimane, Vaccarello takes Saint Laurent's offering from the stage of an off-beat Parisian dive-bar to the streets outside.
The collection features a range of elevated streetwear which speaks to the maturity of the luxury label's audience, whose outlook on style is contemporary without being faddish; a refined exploration of the current style zeitgeist that remains firmly rooted in the Saint Laurent point-of-view.
High-spirited experimentation with souvenir patches on denim is complemented with scripted embroidered details and quirky graphics, converging to make clear that serious fashion need not be stone-faced or esoteric.
