Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

How it pleases you is all that matters to be honest. I consider these looks pretty timeless.
In a way, Hedi accomplished what YSL did with some of his 70s looks for women, he just made them timeless ...

Is it criminal that I still find those looks so good? I know things have moved on, but they look so intrinsically aesthetically pleasing to me!

Things haven't really moved on, Hedi has just changed for the sake of change. He's never come close to his heyday at SLP imo.

Those days will always be the goat for the "rockstar" (cringe) aesthetic.

At its core it's such a timeless and classically cool look. My day to day casual attire has changed quite a lot since then (and covid, and fatherhood), but on occasion I'll still whip out a skinny black jeans, leather jacket & suede boots combo and feel like a million bucks.

Out of curiosity, what is your day to day aesthetic? Or is it just like stuff you have to wear to work?

I'm with those who deeply mourn the Hedi of SLP days. I would give a testicle for him to go back making that stuff. Although there's still a ton of stuff out there on the secondary market in new condition, so it's by no means a total loss. I do have to confess, however, that I find a lot of the stuff he did from that period incredibly cringe.

There's a billion more things I could say on this topic, but I won't bore people with my ramblings.

Does anyone have fit pics of the l02 jacket? I'm about to go on another leather jacket binge, and this one has always appealed to me.

I'm lucky enough to work from home so don't have to worry about work attire.

It's just stuff that revolves around practicality and comfort really, so trainers, loose jeans / trousers, cool knits / jackets. Not really anything that will appeal to devotees of this thread but it just suits my lifestyle more. Don't want to be running around the park in heeled boots and a leather jacket.

Maybe I'll get more into the skinny jeans and boots stuff in winter.

Here's some random fit pics since no one asked.

This is the best photo of a person wearing the l02 I've been able to find. It looks kinda sick, but I wouldn't mind seeing more.

not sure anyone (celebs) wore / got given it.

 

[SirGrotius]

Looks incredible in those pics.

I've seriously been trying move away from this look & get into something more "fashionable" ever since 2019 and realized only earlier this year that I neither can nor want to. Prior to Hedi's SLP, it's what I wanted to wear, just couldn't find the right clothes (plus I didn't really completely "get" the style until Hedi did with it what he did) & afterwards, I didn't want to revert to whatever was in at the moment. So whether it's criminal or not, I can't help it, myself...

Yeah, I'd seen those campaign photos before. Pity there's not any pics of people wearing it in the wild.

Prior to SPL, it's what I wanted to wear, just couldn't find the right clothes

This is exactly how I feel.

Where might one look for more affordable alternatives to Saint Laurent's beautiful knitwear? They seemingly have these floofy, really nice and comfortable looking knits with great cuts in their collection every year, but I haven't been able to find any similar alternatives. For example, their current line of knits is very aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

Sandro has the best SLP knitwear alternatives and can be gotten for cheap on sale.

I've been getting into slp knitwear as well. I'm not quite sure which ones you're referring to, though. I noticed this one just popped up on the webstore which looks great. It's "responsible mohair" so I wonder if that means it won't make you itch a ton.

The super slim silk blends ones look great too. Although, since I'm on vacation eating like a fatass I don't even want to think about wearing those ones right now.

I was thinking of something like this:

I do love all of their current knitwear lineup, though. Unrelated to the knitwear matter, but my new SLP Wyatts finally arrived today. Super excited.

 

[Bling]

I’ve had my eye on this SLP backpack for awhile. Finally pulled the trigger, and I’m happy I did so!

If you want one with Saint Laurent written on it, there's really only one way to go.

In my experience, All Saints do some pretty good knits at nice price points.

Which Wyatts did ya get?
