EXCERPT: SAINT LAURENT. SPRING 2023 - PARIS FASHION WEEK.

"...Satin, silk  and chiffon, with an earthy and neutral palette, the collection has been orchestrated by Vaccarello to incite those emotive feelings of the epicurean of yesteryear, yet I feel that it holds a more serious and dark demur for a Spring collection.   The timelines of the past 40 years maybe crossing somewhat into our current place in history, of its redux of economic and social turmoil, but the rhyme that is being playing out is without a pronounced counterculture.  More of less, it is an infatuation with the digital relays through its social media feeds.  Society seems to be running on the spot, within its tipping point into a global decline.  Thus, Vaccarello's darkness mixed with an restrained hedonic could be the a reflection that the past cannot be emulated, but rather, one should let go.  

Yet, we are still holding on."
