With each look that paraded onto the runway inspired by the ballroom of the Intercontinental Hotel, the venue where the brand presented all of its Haute Couture collections between 1975 – 2001, precision and beautiful severity of angles were at play. Anthony Vaccarello unleashed a women’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection that was iconically Saint Laurent and we would have it no other way.
Vacacarello reimimagined the 80’s power shoulder and men’s tailored blazers into an an even more dramatic and sharp silhouette, but beautifully softened each look with feminine precision through the use of light, sheer and delicate fabrics either draped over, worn under, or gently accentuating the look for an added layer of contrast.
With grandiose chandeliers flickering in the backdrop, this was a magnificent fusion of atmosphere from eras gone by and a FW23 collection which was simply sublime.
