\n On Tuesday evening, the Eiffel Tower glittered, opening and closing Anthony Vaccarello<\/a>\u2019s intense Saint Laurent<\/a> show in a breathtaking dialogue\u2014an almost monochrome ode to gold, suffused with the nostalgia of a possible final show.<\/p>\n

The silhouettes and garments receded, the designer\u2019s Spring-Summer 2027 collection reading as an irresistible torrent of molten gold.<\/p>\n

Within this hypnotic monochrome, a few of the house\u2019s signatures emerged: midi skirts and safari jackets, fitted trench coats, and dresses with cap sleeves or rendered in sheer lace.<\/p>\n

Gold\u2014patinated, iridescent, reflective, or absorbed into leather\u2014clothes the models from feet, shod in strappy sandals, to heads, adorned with the oversized gold jewellery so characteristic of Saint Laurent.<\/p>\n

The event was staged on the Trocad\u00e9ro esplanade, opposite the illuminated Eiffel Tower, where a striking interplay of light and shimmer played out between the Iron Lady and immense golden chandeliers suspended in the warm Indian summer sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love gold; it\u2019s a magical colour,\u201d said Yves Saint Laurent, as quoted in the show notes.<\/p>\n

The couturier\u2019s love of gold drew on his sun-drenched memories of Oran and Marrakesh, on the objects he collected with Pierre Berg\u00e9<\/a>, and on the accessories created by Loulou de la Falaise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For this collection, the creative director sought \u201can omnipresent, hypnotic, almost obsessive use of gold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the celebrities in attendance were Charlotte Gainsbourg<\/a>, who accompanied the designer\u2019s final bow in song, Hailey Bieber, and Ros\u00e9 of Blackpink.<\/p>\n

Appointed in 2016 to succeed Hedi Slimane<\/a>, Anthony Vaccarello, 44, has defined a recognisable style over the past decade: sensuality heightened by transparency, powerful shoulders, Le Smoking, metal and black. Under his leadership, the house surpassed the three-billion-euro sales mark in 2022, before, like the rest of the sector, experiencing the slowdown in the luxury market.<\/p>\n

Reports\u2014unconfirmed by the house but widely circulated, first published by the American website Puck\u2014suggest the Belgian designer is set to leave after a decade at the helm of Saint Laurent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat departs sometimes leaves more light than what remains,\u201d the designer concludes in his show notes, without further elaboration.
