Saint Laurent Tribute

Week three of tribute season saw the release of the Saint Laurent Inspired Tribute. Personally, I was hoping for something a bit more new and exciting, perhaps a brand which has never been featured before, but I’ll survive I suppose. I felt like the ad for this release reflected the theme really well. For me, this release is mildly representative of an erotic and sultry design; evident in the use of lace, sheer materials, tight clothing, leather, chokers. In contrast however, a lot of the pieces are glittery. Whether the contrast between blinding glitter and sultry sheer lace is intentional, I really like it. I feel like this collection will be quite popular, a lot of the pieces are quite trendy, not so much versatile, but in-trend for sure. While the pieces are not versatile in silhouette, they are arguably more versatile due to their monochromatic colour palette, which certainly would appeal to a wider audience than the Gucci Tribute for example. With three floors and thirteen looks to choose from, we were spoilt for choice. Some of the pieces are standout items for me, and others simply not my style. The interior is very minimalist, yet super chic, almost futuristic. The background certainly allows the clothing to be emphasised further. 

On the first floor, many of the pieces speak to me; I particularly love the lace top and jean combo, as well as the glittery long sleeve top. The first floor looks each complement each other, creating a harmonious monochromatic look. A pop of colour is added into the mix on the second floor as seen on the blue dress, and red accessories. Following the glittery-material-theme, more intricate items are present, including a gorgeous two-piece midi skirt and top. I really love the black dress as well, super eighties puffed sleeve, but styled in such a modern and contemporary way. The third floor introduces what I assume is faux leather? Some really nice pieces are also found on this floor, such as the coat, and two jackets. Also, a stunning lace dress on the first mannequin, which is easily my favourite piece of the whole collection. A few pieces which were a total miss for me were the boots – they remind me of 2000’s Bratz Doll boots, all tea no shade. I wish more shoe options would’ve been made available. Secondly, the blue dress, I think it’s the ruffled texture which throws me off, I’ll wait to see how others style it before I commit to buying. Finally, the leather skirt on the third floor, while the matching jacket is a standout piece, the skirt is just not for me – again I think it’s the ruffles.

Finally, here is the looks that I created with the items from the Saint Laurent Tribute. I ended up buying quite a bit, even items which weren’t so appealing so I could challenge myself to style them.

What did you think of this release? Worth it or totally predictable?
