RUNWAY: Saint Laurent FW18
Judging the
Saint Laurent book by its cover, it seems like
Anthony Vaccarello is just continuing what his predecessor had started at the
Kering-owned maison. But there are differences in Vaccarello's approach to menswear. While there were plenty of skinny clothes here, they were not restrictively skinny so that anyone with a waist size above 30 would be considered too fat to fit into them. In a more concise way: Vaccarello's Saint Laurent is more welcoming, more egalitarian even. From the glittering jackets to the sleek boots to the aforementioned mentioned skinny jeans, there were oodles of layers that would appeal to far broader range of men and whose tailoring and overly aesthetic would fit into their own rather than the wearer try to adhere to the clothes. Vaccarello's Saint Laurent tells the world that the man (or woman) wears the clothes and
not that the clothes wear the wearer.
