Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent Paris entered a new era under Hedi Slimane, who served as Creative Director from 2012 to 2016. Slimane redefined the house through a sharp, youthful approach to menswear, characterized by slim silhouettes, precise tailoring, leather jackets, and strong references to rock ’n’ roll.
His collections brought a distinct attitude to Saint Laurent, combining Parisian sophistication with the raw energy of music and youth culture. Denim, boots, leather, and tailored pieces became central to the brand’s identity, while Slimane’s distinctive proportions created a recognizable silhouette that extended across both menswear and womenswear.
Today, Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent collections are highly regarded for their enduring influence on contemporary fashion. Early pieces from his tenure have become particularly sought after for their design, construction, and place within the history of modern Saint Laurent.
