The 2027 Summer Collection from —Anthony Vaccarello’s final collection featured 49 of the 59 looks in gold, with the remainder in black. It was a majestic collection truly worthy of a grand finale.
This collection, which looks back on the good old days of Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent, features blouses and wrap skirts, as well as military-inspired pieces such as trench coats and sahariennes, all rendered in this color palette.
Saint Laurent has consistently incorporated military elements into its collections. It was Monsieur who gave the name “Saharienne” to the safari jacket and reinterpreted it within the context of high fashion.
Jacket ¥485,100
An umbrella yoke and a collar that can hold the hood. This stylish jacket, featuring iconic details, clearly paid homage to that heritage.
The voluminous nylon body exudes a truly modern look. The tone-on-tone logo printed on the chest adds an accent befitting a Parisian fashion house.
The letters faintly emerge when the light hits them.
The light reflected by gold is absorbed by black. Sometimes, what passes by leaves behind more light than what remains—Vacarello’s sense of contentment can be discerned in this poetic message.
