Saint Laurent Fall 2019

Can we all just be bio-luminescent in Saint Laurent Fall 2019 and live our best lives?  I NEED every freaking piece of menswear! Who cares if Saint Laurent is marching to the beat of its own drum, still on that same aesthetic from like four seasons ago? (…I said Four Seasons).  There was a multitude…

Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2017

Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2017 was a continuation of their against-the-grain 80’s vibe…the only thing on-trend about it was the carpet bagger jackets. The silhouettes, the grotesque sloppiness of it all was off-putting – it was stiff and cheap with leather, gold lamé…sleeves and shoulders dropped more and more throughout the show. Is that a drop…

Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16

Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week  collection had this strange 80’s air about it, the cocktail dresses, the shoulders, the styling… it’s the third show in PFW to invoke the era.  We know Saint Laurent has embodied the 80’s and Punk recently, but this is less hard edged and more era gone by.  The…

Saint Laurent New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 NYFW FW16

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…

Saint Laurent SS16

Saint Laurent SS16 seemed like a dichotomous collection in that almost every short dress looked cheap and trashy, so I was wondering if it’s like white trash princess meets punktastic 90’s vixen…  I hate hate hate overalls…what the hell is that…as if those don’t already exist!  I loved the tux meets denim vest, that’s something…

Fashion Ads

I said I was all of a sudden going to look a lot more normal with the onset of the androgyny and dandy trend for fall, 😂.  The Versace ad shown below looks like it could’ve been styled in my closet…yes, I have leather meggings (although it was for Halloween).    I can’t recall seeing a…

Out Outdoes Itself

 Dark, sleek, black leather clad with slicked back hair, this guy is a 21st century rock star.  Out Magazine’s story “Dark Days,” featured in the September issue, takes us on a sullen world tour of American, French, Italian, and English fashion.  John Varvatos and DSquared2’s leather pants…(no verb required). I see the nod to the…

Saint Laurent SS16

I feel like I can hear Pauly Short.  I feel like I’m in Back to the Future.  Saint Laurent took us on a rock star bad trip through the 70’s and 80’s.   Polka dots, spiked leather jackets, lots and lots of plaid, tie-die, leopard, fringe jackets, denim vests, windbreakers in those wacky 80’s prints, and…
