Saint Laurent has embodied in its Parisian clothing empire, a perpetual sense of femininity and confidence since it was established, as portrayed in many of its eminent collections. This season, however, curator Anthony Vaccarello, who took over the reins of the fashion house in 2016, went to town by incorporating some really scintillating styles and blending them with rock motives and hippie silhouettes.

Invoking the '80s nightlife as his inspiration, Vaccarello has stuck to the essence of Saint Laurent with its classic body-hugging intricacy and tailoring and enhanced the designs with luxurious jewel tones, enticing detailing, and latex. Lots of it. The Fall/Winter 2020 Menswear collection, in particular, oozes the bad boy vibe, with leather and latex making up most of the apparel.

The collection boasts some of the best designs by YSL, ranging from exquisite winter coats and jackets, mostly-double breasted, characterized by gilded buttons and crafted from fine materials like cashmere and silk-satin. There is also plenty of velvet and latex to go around. Abandoning his mostly black go-to, Vaccarello embraces a quintessential YSL palette sporting bold patterns like the leopard print and sensuous shades like red and Fuschia. 

In addition to the terrific jackets featuring corduroy, flannels, and leather designs, the YSL staple silk satin blouses in fine print and accompanied by charming pussy-bows or ascots also form the core of the collection. The designer's collection also features high-rise pants and form-fitting latex trousers, both that would seamlessly complement the oversized, sharp blazers. Lest we forget the shoes, the YSL trademark Chelsea boots, classic sneakers embellished with the house's branding, and the sophisticated Derbies in polished leather. The Winter Fall collection displays a perfect ensemble of clothing for the season, with matching contrasting colors, large fur coats, and warm woolen turtle-necks exuding the masculinity of a YSL man.
