# Futuristic 50s-Inspired Menswear Saint Laurent Menswear for S/S 2014 Revamps Classic Rocker Looks By Jen Chae | Published 2013-07-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-menswear References: [ysl](http://www.ysl.com/corporate/us/saint-laurent-collections/menss14/) & [ysl](http://www.ysl.com/) Classic rock lovers will find the summer/spring 2014 line for Saint Laurent menswear mind-blowing. The [Saint Laurent Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024) runway show is nostalgia-inducing, with 50s-resembling ambiance in everything from the music to the collection. The set is dark for the first three minutes, with nothing but the flickers of camera flashes and trance-like sounds. The show’s soundtrack has a 50s feel, especially the opening song by chamber-pop singer Sam Flax that consists of screeches of an electric guitar infused with a bit of funk. Decorated with bamboo-esque bars and grid-like lights, the set feels comfortable, but the pieces that run down the catwalk are more overwhelming. Immaculately put together, the models are sporting [studded leather jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit), glitter, glossy reds and animal prints and even some red handkerchiefs around the neck. Rockerish details like distinct black stretcher earrings or the buckles on pointy “winklepicker” shoes are accentuated. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vintage-inspired Menswear:** There is an opportunity for designers to create new collections inspired by classic styles from different eras. - **Revamped Retro Music:** Music producers can create new tracks that combine classic rock sounds with modern elements. - **Fusion of Styles:** The blending of different styles from various eras is a trend that could be explored by designers and influencers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore vintage-inspired collections for upcoming seasons, utilizing classic styles of different eras. - **Music:** Music industry professionals can create new tracks that are a fusion of classic rock elements with modern sounds and technology. - **Influencer Marketing:** Influencers can focus on showcasing and blending styles from different eras to inspire new fashion trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md) - [Collaboration Fashion House Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-x-fender-stratocaster.md) - [Furniture Design Resurrections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-revives.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md)
