Reminding us of what once was at the center of fashion by rendering it invisible: clothes, Anthony Vaccarello designed a distinguished Saint Laurent womenswear collection for Winter 2024. Transparency – a Saint Laurent signature – is re-read, minimizing the distance between garment and skin so the two effectively meld and fabric evaporates like mist. As a result of this interplay, close-fitting silk dresses resembling sheer undergarments simultaneously reveal and shroud the woman wearing them, like hyper-graphic X-rays. The see-through theme transposed through a resolutely current prism extends as well to brazen glass jewelry that brings to mind a mold rather than an actual shape.
A collection of contrast if we might say, it offers broad-shouldered coats, bow-neck blouses, deep v-cuts, puff marabou jackets, thin belts wrapped around totally sheer attires, and a lot more. However, all models, no matter how revealing the look they were presenting, dazzled with head wraps made of the same fabric dominating the collection. All of this came in a beautiful palette including taupe, caramel, olive, chocolate brown, vermillion, and black.
