# Layered Desert Duds Yves Saint Laurent Adds More to Less For S/S 2010 Collection By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-07-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-saint-laurent-spring-summer-2010 References: [swipelife](http://swipelife.com/2009/07/02/yves-saint-laurent-springsummer-2010/) & [ysl](http://ysl.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Layered Fashion:** Incorporating layers in fashion design for a unique and chic style. - **Conservative Color Palettes:** Using subdued and earthy colors in fashion design as a departure from bright and flashy colors. - **Elevating Basics:** Focusing on elevating basic pieces, such as t-shirts, to stand out in a fashion collection. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunity to use layering technique and conservative color palettes to create unique and stylish fashion. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunity to develop new textiles and materials that complement layered fashion design. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity to promote the value of quality and elevated basics in fashion design to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Layered Utility Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-yoke.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md) - [Summer-Centric Lifestyle Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-4.md) - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md)
