On Tuesday 26 September 2023 at 8pm, Anthony Vaccarello presented his new Saint Laurent spring-summer 2024 collection. In the broad universe of the founder, it is on the case of the safari jacket that the current artistic director decided to let him speak (since 2016) .
Anthony Vaccarello reinvents the safari jacket for Saint Laurent’s spring-summer 2024 show
For the occasion, an ephemeral marble decoration (what a paradox) was erected on the Champ de Mars, to offer a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower to guests including Iris Law, Rosé, Austin Butler, Hailey Bieber, Jerry Hall, Georgia May Jagger, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Shalom Harlow, Rossy de Palma, Lourdes “Lola” Leon, Béatrice Dalle, Carla Bruni and even directors Jacques Audiard, Gaspard Noé and David Cronenberg (whose films Saint Laurent now produces). Over SebastiAn’s music, Catherine Deneuve’s voice described each passage: “ Number 1: safari dress, in dune cotton gabardine. » The subsequent looks decline this essential element of the Saint Laurent grammar (since the first one presented in 1967), combined with aviator suits, often in a monochromatic and minimalist way, as the trend dictates. quiet luxury.
Almost all the looks were in cotton, except the last ones in ethereal silk chiffon. We can appreciate that Anthony Vaccarello has stripped the traditional safari jacket of its crossed fastenings, to move towards greater purity, while keeping the pockets functional, also featuring them on cargo trousers. The shoulders of working girls of the 80s continue to impose their construction, completed by a lot the eighties also, when aviator sunglasses didn’t block your vision. As for the jewelry, the earrings were as maxi as the bracelets, worn over brown leather gloves. Finally, pumps took the shape of an elongated pyramid, like the Eiffel Tower (and designer Amina Muaddi’s best-selling shape).
On the other hand we can also regret the extreme thinness of the cabin, as often happens in Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent. As if his fashion vision couldn’t be embodied beyond a size 36.
