The spring-summer 2022 collection features stylish outfits from Saint Laurent, which, after a long break, has returned to the usual schedule of Paris Fashion Week.
Late in the evening, the models glided smoothly on a wet concrete area under artificial rain in sandals on an obscenely high platform and pointed shoes with stilettos, which seemed to argue with all the laws of physics and hinted that they would have to say goodbye to practical and comfortable fashion in the new season.
At the center of the podium was a noisy waterfall cascading down a pyrotechnic light display at the finale of the fashion show.
Who is she - the main character on the fashion catwalk? A modern romantic Frenchwoman or a hardened Parisian party girl from a nightclub, a fabulous witch with a love potion, or an overseas princess in a dress sprinkled with scarlet roses.
Perhaps a daring and sexy fan of the total black style or the star of social events, and it is her that we often see on the glossy pages of the glamorous press. In general, each fashionable image is bright, incendiary, a little intoxicating in its own way.
According to general comments on Saint Laurent's new spring / summer 2022 collection, the main source of inspiration for the designer was the incomparable Paloma Picasso, who was the muse of Yves Saint Laurent.
It was she who played a key role in the designer's creativity, inspiring him to take many risks. Her role was temporarily forgotten until this evening, but Anthony Vaccarello decided to pay tribute to her in a new fashion line. He transferred a sketch of her signature image - dark hair, scarlet lips and bright mascara. Most of the collection is focused on the man's cut, as Picasso loved.
Sleek silhouettes, jet-black glasses, and elegant jackets with wide shoulders and three-quarter sleeves that took months to perfect. The precision of the form, according to Vaccarello, was to fix all those huge things he was tired of seeing on Instagram, and just to show what a well-tailored jacket is.
In trendy ensembles, these ideal women's jackets are combined with high-waisted jeans or tight-fitting spandex trousers, sometimes transforming into overalls or even being worn "solo" literally on a naked body.
Well, France has always been able to surprise. And for the sake of acquaintance with the sensual and, I would even say, enchanting beauty, with interesting, tempting, bold and vivid images, it was quite worth organizing a large-scale show, where at first you catch the whole silhouette with your gaze, and then you want to slowly, without haste to carefully consider every detail.
I am sure that the spring-summer 2022 collection will leave its mark on the history of fashion.
