SAINT LAURENT recently showed its highly anticipated Men’s Summer 24 collection against the backdrop of Berlin’s Neue National galerie—a striking Modernist structure designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The collection captures the essence of SAINT LAURENT’s iconic themes, reimagined by creative director Anthony Vaccarello.
SAINT LAURENT, MEN’S SUMMER 2024
The Neue Nationalgalerie
The Neue Nationalgalerie, an iconic glass and steel pavilion, has stood as a temple for art since its inauguration in 1968. Its minimalist aesthetic and timeless allure mirror the spirit of SAINT LAURENT’s designs. Vaccarello’s creative vision, infused with attitude and ease, seamlessly integrates with the architectural grandeur, establishing a harmonious dialogue between fashion and art.
SAINT LAURENT MEN SS24
Men’s Summer 2024
Building upon ideas explored in recent collections, the Spring Summer 2024 range celebrates the fluid interplay between traditionally masculine and feminine elements. Manifesting the evolving SAINT LAURENT wardrobe, the collection presents fresh iterations of themes previously seen in the house’s womenswear presentations. This fusion underscores the versatility and open-endedness that define the brand’s approach to contemporary fashion.
At the heart of the collection lies a key silhouette that embodies sharpness while exuding an unexpected lightness. A sense of roominess in the upper body gracefully transitions into high-waisted flute pants, adding a touch of modernity to classic tailoring. Vaccarello’s artful reinterpretation of the shoulder is also notable. Whether it is exaggerated in a tailored jacket or left bare, this design choice pays homage to SAINT LAURENT’s storied past while embracing a stripped-down, nostalgic-free aesthetic.
Concise draping techniques and re-proportioned polka dots and leopard prints infuse the collection with edge. Confidently mixed stripes defy conventional notions of harmony, challenging the status quo and embracing the unexpected. By incorporating couture fabrics like mousseline into a menswear context, traditional connotations are shed, allowing for a fresh perspective. The iconic SAINT LAURENT tuxedo, paired with a body-skimming satin tank top, exemplifies this fusion of classicism and forward-thinking innovation.
SAINT LAURENT’s Men’s Summer 24 collection is a testament to the brand’s commitment to embracing modernity and gender fluidity. Anthony Vaccarello masterfully blends elements of the past with a vision, resulting in a collection that speaks to the zeitgeist of our time. ysl.com
