Style Fashion house Saint Laurent was in the past already several times addressed because they are (too) skinny models used in their campaigns and catwalk shows, but the French brand has the message apparently still not understood. Prove that the images of the most recent autumn and wintershow for 2019-2020 in Paris in any case.
When the Italian-Belgian designer Anthony Vaccarello this week, his latest collection for Saint Laurent (the former Yves Saint Laurent, ed.) , suggested in the French capital, he received relatively good reviews on the garments. “Especially the strong craftsmanship fell on with a focus on the shoulders,” wrote Vogue.com about it.
But there was also criticism on the choice of the models that are again, piece by piece, gaunt. And by the enlarged shoulders and the oversized coats, their figure even more in the paint. Allowance, the company behind, among other Saint Laurent and Gucci, signed in 2017, however, still an agreement in which they promised not to skinny models. But that intention they have clearly already let go.
“I have never seen so many knobby knees, protruding collar bones and sunken eye sockets seen together since the so-called “heroin chic” trend in the 90s,” summarizes columnist Sarah Vine it together in an article on the Daily Mail. “Very disturbing”.
