Saint Laurent blends power suits with lace at Paris Fashion Week

Saint Laurent’s Paris Fashion Week show paired oversized black power suits with see‑through lace dresses in earthy tones, often styled with fur coats and chunky jewelry, echoing the tuxedo‑inspired legacy Yves Saint Laurent introduced in 1966. Despite Vaccarello’s leadership since 2016, the brand—owned by Kering—posted about €2.6 billion in sales last year, down from a €3.3 billion peak in 2022, as it navigates a post‑pandemic luxury slowdown.
