Make A Statement
Raise the bar with fashion’s all-time favourite black and white silhouette.
Fashionable statements come and go but if there was one fail-safe styling tip we would whole-heartedly swear by it would be the classic and undeniably chic black and white silhouette. Trend-proof and sophisticated, the monochrome trend is the easiest way to make a statement without being overt or fussy. Take Saint Laurent’s cue this season and master the art of effortless statement dressing. Comprising of elevated staples—think turtlenecks, classic white shirts and structured coats to name a few—Saint Laurent’s Fall ’21 collection offers an alternative to the traditional black and white ensemble. Here, clashing textures and materials come into play in the form of glossy patent, silky velvet, suede and more.
The effect is exemplified perfectly in Saint Laurent’s contemporary rendition of a ’60s-inspired embroidered lace velvet dress styled with sleek patent leather boots. To complete the head-to-toe monochrome outfit, Saint Laurent’s Le 5 À 7 Hobo bag will do just the trick. And what of the gorgeous white faux fur duffle coat thrown in casual nonchalance over an all-black silhouette accented with nothing but touches of gold?—perfection.
But that’s not all that’s on offer this season. Adding a hint of sensual allure, Anthony Vaccarello’s hybrid trouser-boots combination (officially known as pantaboots) delivers just the right amount of drama and attitude to the otherwise feminine and refined, formal pieces.
