Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello‘s collection was “Saint Laurent sexy”, made even sexier with the twinkling tower backdrop, as well as the tall, white, palm trees, both drawing beautiful reflections onto the runway, which was transformed into a serene pool. Models wore seductive silhouettes with plunging necklines, super-short skirts, dresses and shorts, as well as layers.

Jackets of all sorts had a prominent presence at the show, whether menswear, military, smoking, varsity or cape-inspired. The brand’s usage of the color black remained strong, while pops of bold blues, reds, golds and animal prints were also showcased. Overall, the collection was alluring and sophisticated, elevated but wearable, true to the brand’s powerful DNA.
