Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent Fall Winter 2022 menswear collection encapsulates what it means to embrace your fantasies, with lessons from Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent himself on the subject of ‘taboo’.

The Saint Laurent Fall Winter 2022 Teaches You To Embrace Your Fantasies
An elegant system lies behind every Saint Laurent menswear collection by Anthony Vaccarello, a symphony of sexuality bursting into a climax of rapidly shifting structures. Since his appointment, Vaccarello’s creations echo a timeless narrative throughout and polish it with ambitions to push even further.

They comprise themes such as ‘androgyny’ and ‘edgy’, words often coined by the press to describe Vaccarello’s era, but perhaps’ quiet revolution’ seems more befitting today. In each classic Yves Saint Laurent collection, a small dash of ‘taboo’ was a tool used to arouse a sense of conflict. This slight chaos makes each collection all the more seductive, desirable, and to die for — and it has lived till today.

The Saint Laurent Fall Winter 2022 Teaches You To Embrace Your Fantasies
While tirelessly trying to stay true to the vision of Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent himself, the language that traverses throughout the most contemporary collections has evolved to reflect the men of our times. From sleek, black high-heeled boots to faux fur coats, the Fall Winter 2022 collection encapsulates what menswear in the year 2022 looks and feels like.

While eschewing industry expectations, the collection blurs the gap between traditional masculinity and femininity: tangibles for which one can not always decipher the words. It captures the beauty of what it means to exist in a truly genderless world, far from a gimmick. In true Saint Laurent fashion, Fall Winter 2022 encapsulates what it means to embrace your fantasies. And here, the collection best highlights how even the most scandalous, albeit in faux, of fabrics — such as fur — can look elegant yet invigorating.
