Saint Laurent Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2018

The Eiffel Tower again formed the ultimate backdrop fort his week’s Saint Laurent show. A spotlight lit runway unraveled a fall/winter story that wasn’t as warm and cosy as you might expect. Mathilde Henning opened the show in a pair of extra short leather shorts a woolen jacket and a hat that covered most of her face. What followed were (like with the last collection) tons of disco dresses with strong eighties inspired shoulders. After a mid section of fitted menswear looks (skinny jeans and jackets) all glam inspired black ensembles turned into a floral printed finale. 29 short, flower printed disco dresses to be precise. A lot of the same if you’d look at it from far away. But when taking a closer look you could see the detail in every piece, from embroideries and tassels to fringed trimmings. The models’ legs for days had us focus on one of the best selling items for the brand: boots. Black ankle boots with a silver buckle, chunky platforms and stiletto knee boots. Anthony Vaccarello didn’t feel like changing things up for fall. Then again we already spotted plenty of hit items for the modern day Saint Laurent customer.
