Anthony Vaccarello’s 30th collection for the label blooms in a Parisian garden, while Louis Vuitton stays indoors
The Saint Laurent show, which opened Paris fashion week on Monday night, began with a pussy-bow blouse and ended with a ruffled dress you could fold up, pac-a-mac style, and pop in your handbag.
The label’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, is not known for practicality. But he can spin a story using clothes within 10 minutes. Here, under a perfectly clear night sky in front of the Eiffel Tower, an army of “mesdames” stalked a Parisian garden dressed – by the designer’s own admission – for cruising.
