Few of those interested in the world of fashion can claim that they are not familiar with the YSL logo. Yves Sain Laurent; A well-known brand whose name and history in the fashion industry are synonymous with the stylish Parisian look. The latest work of this fashion house is the men’s spring-summer 2024 collection, which conveys a sophisticated and elegant attitude to the viewer, and with genderless and timeless items, it also highlights the duality hidden in the brand’s DNA. But addressing and presenting genderless collections is not a new perspective, and in the last few years many brands have tried to avoid stereotypes and consider a special place for genderless fashion.
We are in the article Genderless fashion maturity in men’s spring-summer 2023 collections We have reviewed men’s collections whose theme was genderless fashion
But what do you think will be the reaction of contemporary men whose wardrobe is inspired by the women’s clothing line?
In this closet article, we are going to review the spring and summer 2024 men’s collection of the Saint Laurent brand.
Transcending gender boundaries, the spring-summer 2024 men’s collection pays homage to Saint Laurent
If we look at the brilliant history of this brand, one of the characteristics of Yves Saint Laurent is the refusal to follow gender rules. So, in his fall and winter collection of 1960, he introduced his most iconic work: the tuxedo.
Originally designed only for men, the Saint Laurent tuxedo was not an exact copy of the men’s suit. He used the same codes but adapted it to the female body shape to the point where this tuxedo was way ahead of its time and considered a disruptive item.
Anthony Vaccarello, the creative director of this brand, continuously presents the codes and principles of this fashion house in a contemporary and innovative way. In Yves Saint Laurent’s spring-summer 2024 collection, he is well inspired by the legacy of this French fashion house.
Vaccarlo’s Loyalty in Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2024 Collection
Anthony Vaccarello, the creative director of French fashion house Saint Laurent, presented his spring-summer 2024 collection at Men’s Fashion Week in Berlin. Nue National Gallery is a place that is considered a symbol of modern architecture and classical modernism movement and was designed by Mies Van der Rohel. Although this gallery is far from the chic spaces of Paris, its stunning decoration is a good reason to host Anthony’s attractive collection.
Before the fashion show, the brand created a mentality of the collection for its audience by releasing teasers from a 1950s French film called Un chant d’amour. A film about the dangerous paths that people take to reach love. Also, according to the adaptation of Jean Genet’s artwork, Vaccarlo named this collection “Every man kills what he likes”. A pleasant and sad paradox.
One of Anthony Vaccarello’s abilities is the free use of the lines created by masculinity and femininity and the interaction between the details of masculine and feminine elements. The fashion show, which started with a tuxedo look, actually had a significant reference to the French maison’s fall-winter 2023 women’s collection and was along the lines of the same collection.
Playing with women’s and men’s codes in Saint Laurent spring and summer 2024 collection
When a collection is designed with mostly black and white colors (scattered use of other colors), creativity and innovation come first. In addition to the wonderful venue, all eyes were focused on the silhouettes, the flawless fit of the looks, and the graceful movements of the models.
YSL Maison has been praised for its strong and distinctive designs since its inception. The codes that the creative director; Anthony Vaccarello continues to draw inspiration from them. The collection included key silhouettes, offering suits with sharp shoulders, very wide and voluminous. At the same time, the use of silk and silk fabrics under these coats created a very interesting contrast.
Satin tops with oversized open collars, which we also saw in the women’s fall and winter 2023 collection. Also, blouses with bow collars and long tails at the back of the dress, the presence of these looks go beyond the expected challenges of gender codes.
The use of transparent and transparent fabrics, which were among the trends of the last few seasons, along with looks with spotted fabric or leopard print, one-sided and asymmetric collars, all show the ease of transfer that the creative director of the brand skillfully created for men and women. It portrays itself and proves that power clothes work in harmony with masculinity and femininity.
The essence of fashion is to push aside aesthetic boundaries and embrace change for change’s sake.
Just as Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent once inspired his women’s tuxedo design from men’s fashion, Vaccarlo in the 21st century shows masculinity through femininity.
