PARIS, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Saint Laurent creative
director Anthony Vaccarello offered a lineup of ample, masculine
suits for the Parisian label's spring-summer 2025 collection,
with prominent shoulders and matching ties.
Models made their way steadily around an open-air runway set
up in the central courtyard of the Kering-owned
fashion house's Left Bank headquarters.
They wore thick, studious glasses or aviator shades.
Bomber jackets added heft to the silhouettes, while chunky
jewelry and pointy stilettos brought extra glamour to the looks,
which were closely fashioned after the personal style of the
house founder, Yves Saint Laurent.
Part way through the show, Vaccarello shifted to more
feminine, bohemian styles, sending out flowing skirts in paisley
motifs and shimmery brocade jackets covered with flowers and
paired with short skirts.
The late-night show drew crowds of onlookers who cheered at
the celebrity arrivals including singer Lenny Kravitz, model
Kate Moss and actor Gwyneth Paltrow. It capped the second day of
Paris Fashion week, which runs to Oct. 1 and includes some of
the biggest global fashion labels, including Hermes, Chanel,
Valentino and LVMH-owned Louis Vuitton.
