Closing this season’s Paris Fashion Week Saint Laurent has unveiled its Winter 2025 women’s collection, designed by Anthony Vaccarello, with a focus on simplicity and precise construction last night.
The show included Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Kid Cudi, and Charli XCX, in the audience, which took place beneath the Eiffel Tower.
On the runway, there were bold, vibrant silhouettes across a kaleidoscope of colours, with house favourite, Bella Hadid, closing the show.
Overall, the new collection adheres to the house’s founding ethos, using fabric and cut to define shape rather than ornamentation or padding.
Key features included ample stone-washed skirts paired with leather blousons, creating a sense of ambiguity.
For the new season, innovative textures emerge through the pairing of stretch fabrics with guipure, the distressing of couture fabrics, and the treatment of silk, which is printed with animal and floral motifs before being submerged in silicone.
Minimalism in the garments is offset by pointed shoes embellished with a satin square rose. Meanwhile, accessories included jewellery crafted from rock crystal, a stone historically favoured by Yves Saint Laurent.
Beneath Paris’ iconic landmark, the collection was presented against a striking set, designed as a grand onyx oval, with glowing walls adding depth to the presentation, evoking an otherworldly, mineral-inspired atmosphere.
