Saint Laurent Fall 2016 Menswear Womenswear

Step aside NYFW, Saint Laurent is showing in Los Angeles. Hedi Slimane presented his men and womenswear collection at the famed Palladium in LA. 70s & 80s glam-rock, disco, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, a little Courtney Love, vampires, AHS Hotel, coke and herion is what I get from this show. Slime gave us beautiful furs - for him too- rich velvets, glitzy lames, lots of pattern and rock & roll styling and of course, Saint Laurent's signature tux. Hamish Bowles recapped the collection and the celebrity scene best, here.

Saint Laurent MEN 2014

Rockabilly meets Disco meets New Wave in

Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent

menswear collection for Spring 2014. While there are some choice pieces that I wouldn't mind having in my closet, like the silver metallic bomber jacket, the red blazer with black piping, (some of) the skinny trousers and a number of the badass shoes, the truth is I was distracted by how unattractive the models were. Seriously. Slimane may have just reinvented heroin chic which was so popular in the 90s with his own version we can refer to as heroin glam. The emaciated male models do not flatter the clothes. They do not sell the clothes [which would make us want them]... OR not. Want. Them. View collection:

Saint Laurent's "Beautiful People"

Saint Laurent's Hedi Slimane

has embraced some of music's most bad ass rockers as his muses for Pre Fall 2013.

Marylin Manson

sporting a black leather jacket and

Courtney Love

dragging her trashy self on the floor, as usual, make for a very edgy ad campaign. Other featured rollers are

Kim Gordon

and

Ariel Pink.

I kind of like it. There's something so cool and so wrong at the same time that really works for me. Perhaps it's the juxtaposition of controversy and scandal representing a label known for it's luxury and exclusivity. 

What do you think?

Gwen Stefani: Rock Chic in January VOGUE

Note to self: When attempting a comeback, get on the cover of the biggest magazine, be photographed by a renown photographer and wear clothing from one of the most highly anticipated fashion collections. I guess only time will tell if it worked for

No Doubt's

Gwen Stefani

who is featured on the January cover of

Vogue -

photography by Annie Leibovitz and glammed out in Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane. *Read full Vogue article

[One of] my fashion pet peeves below:

For your reference Gwen (and stylist) notice the runway model wearing the same outfit. Hat worn correctly... Look & learn!
