If you caught a glimpse of Saint Laurent’s Spring 2020 show, then odds are all you can remember is the alluring play of light, the all-mighty Eiffel Tower shining on the French capital and Naomi Campbell closing the fabulous show.

But you know as much as we do that Anthony Vaccarello’s rendition of the new Saint Laurent collection is much more than meets the eye. That said, the collection started off on a very elegant note, with models strutting their slender figures down the runway in knee-high boots, shorty shorts and smoking blazers. The looks were subtle but in the most glamorous kind of ways. Halfway through the show, the collection shifted into a more Gipsy-like series of garments, with flowy dresses cinched at the waist and baroque motifs taking the lead. Slithers of gold were all kinds of present, taking over dresses, tops and everything in between. The evening part of the collection was symbolized through a slew of shiny and sequined renditions of the House’s staple “Le Smoking”, making way to oversized smoking suits with high-waisted shorts, jumpsuits with defined and broad shoulders, bodycon dresses with cut-out details and sheer blouses. Long story short, Vaccarello has been giving the notion of masculine femininity a whole new meaning and it’s succeeding with flying colors!
