Hedi Slimane turns to couture    

We take you to the front row of what was PFW’s most exclusive event - Saint Laurent's couture presentation. And what a showcase it was. Join us on a journey through the Eighties’ punk rock era, according to the extraordinary mind of Hedi Slimane.

This was Slimane’s vision of the modern Saint Laurent-clad party girl; plenty of leather, including the star-emblazoned jacket; puff shoulders in bright coloured furs; raven-wing sequins; a black ostrich coat with the pink and turquoise-painted tips; and the youth infused eveningwear complete with black columns and flouncing tiers. The extraordinary craftsmanship within the retro revival of the show was filled with plenty of options for the label’s younger and fashion savvy consumers who appreciate the heritage and utility of a Saint Laurent piece.
