Inside the Rotunda For Saint Laurent Men's Fall/Winter 2023 Collection
Saint Laurent's Fall/Winter 2022 menswear collection looks to architecture for inspiration.
At its core, Saint Laurent explores the bounds of art within the context of clothing. There's an awareness of the thin line between fashion and art, but rather than crossing over, it safely admires from the edge. Anthony Vaccarello's latest menswear collection continues this thematic search, inspired by the refined and defined aesthetic of Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who designed the rotunda at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection where the show took place.
In a streamlined palette of black, white, nude, navy, and silver, the collection focuses on the boldness of shape and texture rather than color. Instead, the overall collection utilizes tactile means of blending masculine and feminine motifs in Saint Laurent's ongoing sartorial conversation about the role of gender in fashion.
