Yves Saint Laurent is showcasing their new 2010 Spring/Summer Collection with a weird twist on the focus. While most of the outfits feature layers upon layers of jackets, cardigans and other linens, the focus of the line is the t-shirt.
Yves Saint Laurent has gone with conservative and earthy Middle Eastern hues for his subtle-toned line. The flair comes out of the actual items and not the bright flashy colours that other designers often resort to.
It may be hard to accentuate the essentials of a t-shirt with all of the layers, but the line is tres chic in more ways than one.
