Black: a color of the rainbow.

The world of fashion has been so carried away by the ideas splashed into the proscenium by the “young reinforcements“– John Galliano? Jean-Paul Gautier, with Alexander McQueen in the role of standard-bearer – that it has almost forgotten about its veterans. The latter, observing the general euphoria and smiling condescendingly – one into his mustache; another through his glasses – have no plans at all to turn in their weapons. Nor are they rushing to take advantage of their pensioner’s consolation prize and “make way for the young men; render honor to the old ones”.

There are no old men in fashion, but there are classics. Yves Saint Laurent, who has indelibly inscribed his name in the assemblage of this century’s classics, has yet again gotten the better of the spiteful nihilists. His latest autumn-winter collection of haute couture proves that any talk of the YSL style in the past tense is, to put it mildly, premature. Having opened the world’s eyes to the diversity of black? He remains confident in his favorite motifs, enriching and perfecting them with each collection. The spectators added cries of “Bravo, maestro!” to their applause when Saint Laurent appeared on the stage at the end of the show. “Keep it up!” we’d like to add, from us.
