Hedi Slimane presented his Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2015 collection during Paris Fashion Week. Luxe embroidery, caped garments and metal-accented hat accessories graced the runway stage as models channeled Western rockers with a flair for eccentric fashions.
The Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2015 collection embodied Hedi Slimane's youthful aesthetic and featured pieces that were set to appeal to the modern-day rocker, a consumer that is definitive of the designer's target demographic.
Whether highlighting matador-inspired jackets or bohemian tunics, this menswear collection sets a nostalgic tone for summer. While Hedi Slimane may have presented modern rocker looks during his past seasons at Saint Laurent, he returns to the roots of rock-and-roll and references the 60s and 70s for his latest line.
The collection is an homage to rock icons including Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
