For the YSL Spring 2010 collection, Agent Provocateur and genius behind the label, Stefano Pilati, sent a myriad of garments down the runway that were seemingly uncorrelated and random, but which actually formed a cohesively contemporary collection.
The YSL Spring 2010 collection dabbled in a bit of everything; there was modified lederhosen, tuxedos and pencil skirts, and even -- in what could have possibly been a homage to the Beatles infamous hit “Strawberry Fields” -- a strawberry smattered skirt.
