As the tee shirt says … there’s no Saint Laurent without Yves!

First let’s speak about the venue … something I rarely if ever address and to say that it was spectacular is an understatement except I highly doubt anyone could see the clothes without binoculars. Then I really want to know why these poor girls had to slosh through water on a seemingly never ending runway? It certainly wasn’t exactly an enhancement to the clothes or the white lit palms.

Okay onto the clothes … not much new here... surprise surprise... yes the pants have gotten shorter and not quite so second skin but the crotch length shorts were there as well as lame bomber but alas no motorcycle jacket…huzzah! Vaccarello traded the moto jacket for band jackets and a plethora of blazers. You see this collection can no longer be thought of as a collection in the truest sense of the word. Yes, it is a collection of pieces more like sportswear rather than a real bonafide collection.

Trademark stars and leopard and of course nipples made an appearance. Sheer and hair length dresses to beat the band; I call then dresses but actually they are tunics since one false move and one’s whoseits is exposed. There was a major group of body suits which I assume were meant to be swimsuits although I doubt crepe holds up well in chlorine of salt water

Almost every exit had either hippie head band, a pussycat bow at the neck, tired gold platform shoes, shades and a hat that resembled a boater except with a brooder brim and an occasional chin strap |

There were 2 exits with the excruciatingly beautiful embroidered tights and body suits, the exploded chain maille and the this new 18th century lace cuff pouring out of the sleeve of a blazer and one gorgeous white sequin blazer… so much for newness. Yes there were loads of sheer black evening pieces and a huge leopard grouping. Vaccarello wisely only hinted at the exaggerated shoulders he has done for a few seasons.

All in all it was a so what! Nothing unexpected except for the water! … And a tad of editing might have been nice to avoid that feeling of didn’t I just see that … provided you were able to see it at all.
PS.. influencers, label whores, bought and paid for media and lastly fashion victims... start saving up or hitting your local thrift stores ASAP
