The Saint Laurent New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 runway fashion show started with a bang, or rather a light show emanating from these architectural portals, which lifted up to allow models, decked out in glam rock retro looks, to walk onto the runway. Velvet, leather, ascot cravats and puff-ties, gold embroidered vests, dot shirts, lace collars, sequins, zebra and leopard animal prints, suede coats, lamé, silk shirts, and wide brimmed hats set the tone for this edgy chic fashion show. It’s everything I’ve been saying I want fashion to exude for years now, it’s Interview with the Vampire meets rock gods.
The Saint Laurent NYFW FW16 collection is on-trend, borrowing aspects from retro influences of the 70’s, 90’s, and periods of a nostalgic time gone by with the styling, including the use of the ties and collars. It was a rocker-chic, vampy, dark and mysterious show, one which embodied the effortless style of rock stars from various eras.
