“Fashion fades, style is eternal.”
“I wanted something simple but playing with lights instead of the city.” The Saint Laurent designer , Anthony Vaccarello was referring to his stripped-down indoor set. Indoor, because it’s snowing in Paris, and stripped-down, because nothing could compete with the Eiffel Tower backdrop he commandeered last season.
That spring collection was a more high-spirited outing than this one, too, with dramatic haute couture shapes and sculptural walking feather balls that brought life and love to Vaccarello’s skimpy silhouette.
Presented on creaky grey floorboards, spotlights illuminated his autumn/winter 2018 collection, which had two things on its mind: really short shorts and big broad shoulders, which is clearly how Vaccarello divides his fabric budget.
“Always,” he said, asked about those scanty hemlines. “If it’s a long dress nobody says, ‘Long?’ Short, for me, is the best way to describe modernity. Legs are not something we have to hide for I don’t know which reason.”
You couldn’t argue with that, especially in these explosive times. It was also hard to dispute the ultimately wearable garments Vaccarello sent down his runway, at least if you count everything from the pelvis up. Little sparkly cavalry jackets, headgear, riding boots, fur-hemmed mini-shorts and a lovely leather blazer were inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s Ballets Russes – the Russian collection – and then, as Vaccarello said, “taking it to the streets.”

“We must never confuse elegance with snobbery”
The Italian-Belgian designer holds a strong reverence for the archives, and an even stronger one for shifting product.
If he has built up a spend-happy fan base since he joined the house just a few seasons ago, this collection was made for them: an almost catwalk-to-sidewalk kind of experience, if there was a ever a reason to bring back that term.
It also marked Vaccarello’s biggest menswear show to date. Interestingly he flexed parts of his womenswear muscle on those skinny boys in Yeti-like moon boots covered in curly fur and capes that looked like astrakhan but weren’t. An electric blue velvet suit stood out in the sea of industrial monotone and monochrome svelte silhouettes.
“The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven’t had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.”
“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.”
“Isn’t elegance forgetting what one is wearing?”
“Le plus beau vêtement qui puisse habiller une femme, ce sont les bras de l’homme qu’elle aime.”
“Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance “

“Rien n’est plus beau qu’un corps nu. Le plus beau vêtement qui puisse habiller une femme ce sont les bras de l’homme qu’elle aime. Mais, pour celles qui n’ont pas eu la chance de trouver ce bonheur, je suis là.”
“The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.”
