The new Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2012 collection mixes wools, leathers and sheering to create a futuristic vision of business wear and outerwear in its latest offering. Blazers with leather collar additions are paired with full leather trousers to create suited separates that you could see in the next upcoming sci-fi flick.
Other pieces seem to be inspired by garments associated with fetish wear, such as a black and blue sleeveless top with side strap and buckle enclosures. There is even a wool sweater that is printed with a razor blade design on its arms and body. So if you’re looking to step into the office with a sharp new look, then there is a piece in the Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2012 collection for you.
