French fashion house Yves Saint Laurent showcased its Spring 2022 ready-to-wear collection in-person fashion show under the Paris' Eiffel Tower on Tuesday.
The 62-piece collection featured fitted jackets, slim ankle-length skirts, and cigarette trousers, chain mail vests, and skin-tight bodysuits, and twists of fabric taken straight from the ’80s dresses Vaccarello found in the YSL archive.
It also featured rose print motifs that echoed a sense of femininity along with injections of electric blues and poppy reds.

The French fashion house turned back time with the new collection and drew on the brand’s most influential muse, French-Spanish designer Paloma Picasso.
Creative director at Saint Laurent Anthony Vaccarello paid homage to the moment of YSL’s late co-founder, Pierre Berge, spotted Picasso and Monsieur Saint Laurent at a gathering.
“For a long time, I wanted to transpose this meeting between Paloma Picasso and Yves Saint Laurent, whose importance few realise in the designer’s creative journey,” stated Vaccarello.
"It is a moment to which I am sensitive as a designer because for me it is the defining moment when Saint Laurent’s fashion creativity became a style." he added.
Picasso played a pivotal role in convincing an Haute couture-devoted Saint Laurent to turn YSL into the sophisticated, risk-taking seductress it is today, and clearly, her everlasting influence continues to do so.
The art of subversive seduction, which Saint Laurent is known for, is ever-present throughout Vaccarello’s most recent offering.
Picasso’s trademarks were scattered throughout the collection, with dark hair, scarlet pouts and androgynous influence reigning supreme in nearly every look.
The collection’s accessories featured pop art bright leather gloves, glitzy jewelry, black patent leather, the clutch bag, most of which were odes to style choices that Picasso implored.
