Sheer and now: see-through fabrics dominate Saint Laurent’s Paris show


Anthony Vaccarello’s autumn/winter 2024 collection inspired by brand founder’s work with transparent textiles

If there was a focus on “not suitable for work” sheer fabrics, those thinking about what to wear for future photo opportunities would no doubt have been pleased to see different takes on glamour – such as satin blouses in jewel colours, trouser suits with defined shoulders and slouchy shapes, and disco-ready “chubby” coats, made from lots of marabou feathers. A hot button topic recently – after Kim Kardashian wore the dress to the Met Gala in 2022 – the reference of it here shows how women wearing clothes that reveal and also conceal their body retains an impact more than 60 years after Monroe. With the stock curated directly by Vaccarello, it is bolstered by events this Paris fashion week, including book signings from the model Linda Evangelista and photographer Juergen Teller, and an exhibition by the British artist Rose Finn-Kelcey.
