YSL's (amazing) runway show...

During this incredible Fashion week, more hectic than usual. the hottest ticket in town was Saint Laurent Paris' show. No longer YSL. And now under the lead of Hedi Slimane. Hedi Slimane came into the spotlight when he was in charge of Dior Homme, where he designed body-tight suits and super-slim pants (for Slimane?). To come and take the place once occupied by talents such as Alber Elbaz, Tom Ford and Stefano Pilati was quite a challenge. And no one wanted to miss the show...

The hot spot was one of the salons of the Grand Salon and all the Greatest of Fashion were there: from Alber Elbaz, Azzedine Ala ia (so tiny), Pucci's Peter Dundas and Pierre Bergé, to Valerie Trierwailler (she does not go out to many public events...).

But the guest of honor was Kate Moss and her husband James Hince. Face to face, Kate is much more beautiful and fresher than in pictures, if that is ever possible. Luminous, young, with a special aura around her...

Jessica Chastain, the face of the new YSL fragrance, Manifesto, was also on the front row. And, of course, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henry Pinault, owners of the label.

Lots of people, more than the usual for this kinds of shows, and all so very curious...

At 20:25 sharp, the roof opened to release the lights. Techno music started to sound and the show begun...

A collection of 66 looks which, for me, summed up the spirit of Yves Saint-Laurent, revisited 50 years later but with a much modern and updated eye. All the ingredients were in: the smoking, the white shirt with a bow, the Moroccan-inspired caftans, the 70s' hats... I loved it all, from beginning to end.

A true pleasure to see something classic but, at the same time, with such a modern twist...
