Monday March 9th, 2009 – Palais De Tokyo
“Calme, Luxe and Volupte” these three words can describe the Yves Saint Laurent Fall Winter 2009 Show at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
As soon as I arrived I noticed that it won’t be the overcrowded usual runway, the show took place on the first floor of the main entrance of the Palais de Tokyo featuring a giant YSL sign. Giant mirrors were placed in each corner of the square space. I see Catherine Deneuve, Loulou De la Falaise along with Betty Catroux, all YSL’s muses are here.

Claudia Schiffer chatting with Mario Testino and Patrick Demarchelier. Carine Roitfeld was filming the last part of her CNN Revealed documentary, Kanye West with Amber Rose posing while Rachel Zoe confessed it was her first YSL show.
The collection started with Alice Coltrane Turiya and Ramakrishna’s composition in the background.
The make up is diaphane, veloute, red lipstick. The hair is silky pulled up in chignon wrapped in leather, Yves Saint Laurent‘s spirit is along us.
The first look was presented by Alla Kostromicheva wearing a leather trench with a perfecto stucture, after a couple of looks I saw that all the YSL’s code have been perfectly re-interpreted by Sefano Pilati. Black leather, gray flannel, white blouse and mutliple variations of Le Smoking.
Long Smoking vest as a dress, Smoking Pantacourt suit, one piece Smoking suit … the skirts and the pants are high waist with a rounded top. Black leather gloves topped by black bangles.
Caroline Trentini was YSL’s exclusive for this Paris Fashion Week and she blow everyone away wearing a black leather one piece zippered body suit, if there was be a Parisian Wonder Woman it would be her.
The jackets have expanded unpaded shoulders.
The collection was a succession of YSL references all wearable all simple, all desirable.
