SAINT LAURENT F/W 2018

The spectacular setting of Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent show for F/W 2018-19, held under the Eiffel Tower with hundreds of lights that twinkled in the dark, was an awe-inspiring frame to a powerful line-up of great standalone pieces. Vaccarello worked multiple themes, injecting a Boho undercurrent into smart tailoring, sexy lengths, slinky silk georgette blouses and romantic dresses. In a palette dominated by black and wine red, ruffles, sparkle, pussy bows and ruches provided the perfect decorative flourish to wear from dawn to after dark. It's no wondering that in the Kering portfolio, Saint Laurent continues to be the top-performing brand after the unstoppable Gucci.
