The Pilgrimage of Yves Saint Laurent

Painting of a girl on her knees in Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2010, this fashion illustration is by artist danny roberts for Sundance Channel Full Fontal Fashion coverage of Paris Fashion Week

Alrighty, last but definitely not least, in my painted journey through Paris Fashion Week,
we come to Yves Saint Laurent!
Ok, so i've seen a lot of shoulder pads, but i have to say, these were surprisingly awesome!
They are really fun looking!
Since we in the US are closing in on Thanksgiving, I thought this painting was quite fitting,
cause the shoulders kind of reminded me of the collars of the Pilgrims! haha
Well, i hope you're having a great week.
I hope you liked my series for Sundance Channel.
If you haven't checked out their fashion site, "Full Fontal Fashion" please do.
The site's content is amazing!
How's your week going?

Yves Saint Laurent SPRING 2010 RTW

Mirte Maas (WOMEN)

The drive toward, as the Yves Saint Laurent program notes put it, "a natural and honest chic, an aesthetic paradigm of new minimalism" is picking up speed during the Paris shows.

Nanou Vandecruys (SILENT)

Stefano Pilati, whose intellectual aspirations always lead him to think long and hard about contemporaneity, is one whose natural urge is to belong to that vanguard.

But what does it actually involve in his case? A stark, monochrome pencil-skirted suit and an austere tuxedo? Or a pair of conceptual lederhosen and a romantic, strawberry-scattered dress? For Spring, YSL had both. And that was odd.

Sara Blomqvist (VIVA)

The logic linking the two (if not more) sides of the collection was hard to see. Some of it appeared to stem from the Saint Laurent archive, albeit at a great remove: the strawberries, flounces, and peasant influences can be traced back to the seventies, though Pilati's bunchy off-the-shoulder dresses were abstracted from the source and eroticized with black leather short shorts and fishnet stockings.

Katharina Friedrich (WOMEN)

But there wasn't enough of it to get into any sort of stride, and when a single white sleeveless coat-dress appeared with what seemed to be purple djellaba embroidery on the shoulder, it was an idea that was left hanging, without further development.

Kasia Struss (WOMEN)

On the other hand, there were more easily understood city dresses and suitings—like a regular periwinkle long-sleeved linen dress and the belted white pantsuit that opened the show—interspersed with a continuation of the edgy black leather pieces Pilati showed last winter.

Mina Cvetkovic (WOMEN)

Then, to add to it all, there was a reversion to some of the clerical references he brought up at the beginning of his tenure: surplicelike sleeves, priestly white blouses, and almost ceremonial minimized capes.

Tao Okamoto (WOMEN)

The parts will likely separate into perfectly sellable working-woman pieces for the stores, and the more edgy elements will get bundled off to editorial shoots. But in terms of a cohesive statement, they never quite seemed to relate.

Yves Saint Laurent Resort 2010.

Mina Cvetkovic

Stefano Pilati said he was partly inspired by seashells, but there wasn't anything overtly beachy about his Resort lineup for Yves Saint Laurent.

Mina Cvetkovic

Rather, the designer's stated influence informed the collection's subtle prints and the circular cuts of looks like a chic bronze silk cocktail dress (part of a new Editions Soir mini evening line).

The theme also found a quiet echo in the spiraling Lesage embroidery at the shoulders of printed shifts and a long, gauzy white dress.

Mina Cvetkovic

Everything—even the tailoring, which has been such a Pilati strong suit these last several seasons—had a certain fluidity.

Mina Cvetkovic

A deconstructed, unlined jacket topped a bustier dress, while the classic YSL trench was reworked with a shawl collar and trumpet cuffs.

The designer cut an evening bolero inspired by couture in topaz cotton—"it's less pretentious that way," he said. Not to mention more modern.
