Saint Laurent - Fall Winter 2024 - Women's Runway Show Selection
"In a show featuring body-hugging silhouettes and sheer ensembles, Saint Laurent’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection is defined by transparency. To the Magnificat in D Major, the series of looks began with a coffee brown sheer dress accessorized with a fur shrug held to the side and a black gold-buckled belt. The opening look is then followed by an array of similarly sheer looks, some accompanied by luxurious furs and structured oversized jackets, making for a collection that's centered around the invisible.
"Anthony Vaccarello reminds us of what once was at the center of fashion by rendering it invisible: clothes," said the show notes. "Close-fitting silk dresses – resembling sheer undergarments – simultaneously reveal and shroud the woman wearing them, like hyper-graphic X-rays. Transparency – a Saint Laurent signature – is re-read, minimizing the distance between garment and skin so the two effectively meld and fabric evaporates like mist."
In Vaccarello’s latest for the fashion house, the body is proven to be the most important accessory, as garments made from soft and thin fabrics highlight the figure underneath rather than the garment itself. Many of the dresses stretch across the body and hit right under the knee, creating outfits that would otherwise be modest, if not sheer. This juxtaposition presents a union between modesty and nudity which is highlighted in the show notes: "Can purity be provocative?".
Transparency is a signature of Saint Laurent; designs that are fluid and risque are emblematic of the brand. Yet it's a mistake to think the brand and this collection in particular use sheer fabric to be provocative, as transparency is instead used to embody a woman's confidence. With this Fall/Winter 2024 collection, a woman and her figure are lauded as art. This is best seen in the wrapped, see-through dresses in browns, a burgundy red, and an eye-catching blue. Even the looks that are opaque, including the silky gartered dresses, present themselves in a fluid and alluring manner further meant to celebrate the feminine figure."
