It’s the fourth Hedi Slimane collection for Saint Laurent… And it doesn’t work on me. It was a disaster. It had something to do with punkish AW13- but that one was more chic, more stylish. And this? Inspired with the rock ‘n roll star Alex Turner, the collection was really trashy. Like if somebody went inside the wardrobe of 10 year old girl who tries to me emo but in reality she loves pink and glitter. Now, Hedi will tell us it’s all so couture and atelier. But why should you do couture on something that looks even worse in that version? The AW14 was meant to be rock ‘n roll- yep, it was, but for a school girl. A mature women won’t wear those pink sequinned boots or one of those messy parkas… Fashion must be fun and experimental, but not passe.

The pressure of delivering exciting collections every few months must be so delicate … Maybe that the designers should get breaks, like the other creative artists. I’ve just seen a live stream of Nicolas Ghesquière’s debut collection for Louis Vuitton, and I can’t wait to read your thoughts on it ! Xxx
i am so relieved to read an honest review of Hedi’s collections. I am an full agreement of your view. How long is this ‘punk’ trend going to last? I feel there was nothing innovative about this collection.
Thank you. Somebody still can be honest about fashion. 👏 Xxx Ed
