In a striking showcase during Paris Fashion Week, Saint Laurent’s creative director Anthony Vaccarello presented a bold collection for Spring-Summer 2025, emphasizing masculine silhouettes and a blend of utilitarian elements. The show took place on September 24, 2024, under the iconic Eiffel Tower, attracting a star-studded audience that included notable figures from the fashion industry.
The runway featured 49 looks that reinterpreted classic Saint Laurent designs, such as oversized suits and safari jackets, with a contemporary twist. Vaccarello’s vision was described as “pragmatic,” incorporating daytime couture looks with looser silhouettes compared to previous seasons.
The collection drew inspiration from historical figures like Amelia Earhart and French test pilot Adrienne Bolland, reflecting a theme of blending masculine and feminine aesthetics. This was evident in the slouchy silhouettes that were belted at the waist and accessorized with large metal earrings, aviation-style bonnets, and stacked bangles.
The use of texture played a significant role in the collection, juxtaposing sheer fabrics with heavier materials to create visual interest. High-shine jewelry complemented the utilitarian vibe, with pieces like metal chokers and gold belt buckles featuring prominently. The collection also hinted at future trends for spring, suggesting that belted jumpsuits and modified safari jackets could become staples.
Overall, Vaccarello’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection for Saint Laurent not only showcased innovative designs but also paid homage to the brand’s rich history while pushing boundaries in gendered fashion.
