RUNWAY: Saint Laurent SS14

Heid Slimane channeled David Bowie for a rockin' good collection for Saint Laurent's Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Tight denim jeans were paired with cropped motorcycle jackets, which were iterations from Saint Laurent's Permanent Collection. Patent leather and animal print were also heavily featured to finish the picture visual of David Bowie at the height of his fame in the 70s and 80s. Disturbingly skinny models wore skinny ties that only exasperated their tiny, sub-sample size frames. Slimane's behavior at Saint Laurent is heavily noted but less known or, to be more accurate passed over by his detractors in the press, is that his collections are selling very well. Maybe it's true that any press is good press. We're sure that Kering, owner of Saint Laurent, is not second guessing their choice and confidence in Mr. Slimane.
