Saint Laurent Menswear Spring Summer 2016

Kurt Cobain

For the Spring Summer 2016 collection of Saint Laurent menswear, Hedi Slimane seeked inspiration in the grunge movement which is a movement that was born in the 1990's. We indeed saw references to this decade such as the chokers that completed the female looks, and more generally Kurt Cobain. A lot of things led us to this amazing musician: the hairstyle, the white plastic sunglasses, the plaid shirts and the destroyed jeans among others. We also saw fringed suede jackets, black leather and denim jackets, mohair cardigans with palm trees printed on them as a reminder of Slimane's love for Californian beaches.

Models walked the runway with attitude and it wasn't about looking like handsome and perfect models, it was more about looking cool and relaxed, and therefore represent the whole grunge spirit. However, the spangled jackets brought a touch of glamor to this rock n roll collection and the girls, who wore cute white dresses with sometimes flowers printed on them, had to wear leather and denim jackets to look a little less cute and a little more badass.

Overall, it was an inspiring rock n chic collection that ended under a rain of YSL-shaped confetti.

Harry Styles, a fashion icon who breaks the rules

Harry Styles is known for being part of the well-known band One Direction, but also for his outfits and his taste for fashion. Indeed, at 21 years old only, the singer's looks helped him gained eminence in the fashion world, even though he is already considered a fashion icon. Harry's style is very particular. He usually wears extra-skinny jeans, printed shirts widely unbuttoned and boots. He wears a lot of Saint Laurent – which is doubtless his favorite brand – as well as some Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. He kind of is the new Mick Jagger, in terms of fashion. In fact, his style could be described as rock n' roll chic, which explains his love for Saint Laurent – whose image was reinvented by Hedi Slimane . If Harry was a brand, he would definitely be Saint Laurent, which is one of the biggest names in fashion nowadays, especially in menswear. We would love seeing him walk for the iconic brand he does justice and is loyal to. But you know that for

PFW: Viktor & Rolf Couture Fall Winter 2015/2016 - "Wearable Art"

This wednesday Viktor and Rolf presented their latest Haute Couture collection in Paris they named "Wearable Art". If you don't know it yet, the two designers revealed they would follow the steps of Jean Paul Gaultier by only focusing on Haute Couture. This show truly showed how fashion is a full art - wearable art to use their own words. While a lot of people question the true meaning of Couture, defining it as a bunch of expensive clothes you will never wear, Viktor and Rolf got things straight: fashion should not be considered only as a way to look good and following trends is boring - even though it is kind of important since it portrays a certain generation. Fashion should be considered as art on the same level as painting, architecture, poetry, music... If you are going to spend tons of money on a painting, why not on an outfit ? Both are different kinds of art. Anyway, it is interesting to see how the show evolved. The first looks consisted on denim sm
