# Bohemian Cowboy Runways The Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2015 Collection is Western-Themed By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2015 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/saint-laurent-springsummer-2015/) & [ysl](http://www.ysl.com/ca) Hedi Slimane presented his [Saint Laurent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-5) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Western-themed Fashion:** With the rise of Western-themed fashion, there is an opportunity to create disruptive innovations in clothing materials and designs to appeal to a broader demographic. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** A growing interest in nostalgic fashion opens the door to disruptive innovations in reviving past styles with new materials and technologies. - **Youthful Aesthetic Fashion:** With a youthful demographic in mind, there is an opportunity to create disruptive innovations in fashion with creative designs, materials, and technologies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry should focus on developing disruptive innovations in clothing materials, designs, and technologies to cater to new trends and a changing market demographic. - **Retail Industry:** The retail industry can leverage the growing popularity of Western-themed and nostalgic fashion trends by offering unique products and personalized shopping experiences to consumers. - **Music Industry:** The music industry has an opportunity to collaborate with fashion designers to create innovative and eccentric looks that cater to rock fans and enhance the overall concert experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Western-Influenced Spring Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-capsule.md) - [Year-of-the-Horse Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-horse-ss26.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md)
