PARIS: YVES SAINT LAURENT S/S 2010

 

The collection began with a slew of monochromatic, glaringly white numbers.  One of these – a vest with oversized pleated, origami-like round details – particularly stood out as a strong expression of how one can make a powerful statement while being in a minimalist white look.

There were, of course, a number of suiting looks. The opening number was a belted number. It seems that the belted silhouette that First Lady Michelle Obama has been known to favor has made an impact on designers with a strong presence from Paris to New York. 


The most successful pieces were those that added touches of black – as was the case with a dress the was cinched at the waist with a wide black belt, and another with a black pleated collar and shoulder details.

Pencil skirts, leather looks, touches of brown, gray, blue, pink and green also made appearances to create what was overall a very beautiful and wearable collection.

The only puzzling look was a peasant-like ruffle skirt with strawberry batches scattered on it that was paired with a delicate turtleneck.
