Who Dares Wins
Play it cool with monochrome palettes and vivid colours in saint Laurent’s latest collection
Black is back and it’s even cooler in Saint Laurent’s fall/ winter 2019 collection under the skilful hands of Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello. Bringing back the funky feel of the ‘80’s, the collection is dominated by classic blacks for both women and men, and spiced up with touches of exotic motifs to catch the attention of all in the room. One handsome example is the all-black Monogram Niki medium bag in vintage leather that goes perfectly well with any style.
During the runway show, about halfway through, the catwalk went dark to expose the collection’s glow-inthe-dark mode, showing blacks and whites with pops of pink, yellow, orange, and green in neon-coloured reflective fabrics to match the personality of effortless chic. For the accessories, the highlight in this collection is the incomparable hardware jewellery, which is often seen worn by many artists such G-eazy and Travis Scott. Long and short chains of necklaces and bracelets in black, silver, and rustedbrass colours are all simple yet sexy to fit any Saint Laurent outfits.
Meanwhile, the sunglasses, coats, and shoes have all been created with nods to the future for a sleek feel. Travel lovers
will also rejoice this season as backpacks and duffle bags are coloured in black and army-patterns to bring the Saint Laurent DNA to all occasions, be it during a holiday in the mountains, while having fun by the sea to be captured on Instagram, or when flying abroad in a private jet. Sunglasses are a must and this collection offers a wide range of styles from timeless classics to bold modern pieces compatible with all face types.
Slip on the boots to complete the perfect fall/winter look. Always a masterpiece at the deft hands of Saint Laurent’s creative directors, each pair of boots is similar yet distinct with its own shining personality to match the owner’s. Those who like their shoes classic, the Oxfords in plain and patterned black and white colours are also here alongside shiny ghillies to reflect the brand’s energetic core.
