The Saint Laurent Show in Hollywood Was a Glam-Rock Masterpiece

Hedi Slimane’s men’s and women’s Pre-Fall 16 Saint Laurent presentation at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (Slimane’s adopted hometown) last night was a celebration of the brand and the creative director’s love for music. In keeping with the vibe of recent collections his mostly unisex ’70s- and ’90s-inspired designs featured an abundance of sparkle and glam-rock flair. The women’s looks were decidedly feminine and modest, with midi-length hemlines, cinched waistlines, high necklines, and bell sleeves. With a front row that included Alexa Chung, Lady Gaga, Zoë Kravitz, Justin Beiber, and Jessica Alba, an afterparty featuring performances by Joan Jett and Beck, and a rare finale appearance by Slimane, it was an event that will be hard to top at NYFW, launching today.
