FETISH COUTURE

Anthony Vaccarello uncompromisingly reconnects with the founder’s vision and unabashed taste for scandal. As indicated in the show notes: ‘between the mastery of rigor and the abandonment of pleasure’, Saint Laurent’s bourgeois elegance rebels. If the top part of the silhouettes is completely Rive Gauche (gold-buttoned double-breasted jackets, silk shirts with cravat collars, pencil skirts, extra-short pelisses, re-editions from the scandalous 1971 collection…), the bottom half is completely femme fatale, with latex leggings, leotards and skirts so tight they become like a second skin. In black, red, pink, purple or indigo, they add perversion to tartan and houndstooth motifs.
