Excerpt: Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2025

 

"...Vaccarello's Pre-Fall 2025 collection is the most 1980s to date, with its magazine 'grainey' lookbook styles, as it tantalizes that sweet spot between 1979 to 1984, where fellow Belgium designer Diane von Fürstenberg, holds the decree, that it was the most sexuallly liberating period for women.  And Vaccarello has indeed added extra spice to his lookbook collection, with 80s oversized leather and shearer jackets, loose fitted shirts and plunging necklines, faux fur jackets.  With its outerwear lace and lingerie, which sets the stage for not-so-subtle allure of the possibility of a tryst later this Friday evening.  Or, better still, an evening before the dinner-to-tyrst, with your lover, at a hotel bar, cafe, wearing a miniskirt, heeled boots, sheer, see through top, plaid jacket, sunglasses, enjoying a black forest cake, Godfather cocktail (Scotch whisky and amaretto, over ice), and a strong coffee later.  Decadent, hedonist and very 1980s."
