The review of the Saint Laurent FW19 collection Sculptural silhouettes, fluorescent colors and self confidence

Trocadero. At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, Anthony Vaccarello presents his umpteenth homage to Yves Saint Laurent, including tributes to the historic Opium perfume and references to the 1971 Spring Haute Couture Collection Scandal.

On a specially lit night, the catwalk is filled with clones of Betty Catroux, Bianca Jagger and Catherine Deneuve, women who are strong and aware of their charm, dressing for themselves and for no one else. They choose silhouettes with sculptural lines, with the Eighties flavour, with the shoulders in the foreground that highlight the outerwear and the sculptural minidress. They play with menswear, tailored coats and suits worn on bare skin (it is impossible not to mention the white suit that recalls the iconic Bianca Jagger), but they scream their femininity with micro-shorts, transparent silk blouses, mesh tops, dresses hyper-sexy, vinyl blazer, sharp-cut trousers and a shower of crystals, maxi ruffles, sequins, bows.
