I know nostalgia is a silly and self indulgent feeling when it comes to
fashion. Fashion is meant to progress. Daily. And reinventions are what
keep houses fresh & relevant. But after seeing what Hedi Slimane is
doing with Saint Laurent (he dropped the Yves) I can’t help but miss the
old days. The Yves Saint Laurent that made beautiful clothes and
sensual women. The Yves Saint Laurent that endorsed androgyny, pantsuits
and sexy, liberated, confident WOMEN. There’s something about the new
collections that remind me of all that’s wrong with the world today. So
for today, I am having a momentary lapse of reason and pining for the
past. Forgive me.
