For @AnthonyVaccarello at @ysl, his spring and fall collections have been the link, the curtain opener or closer on his summer and winter shows, and it’s always intriguing to see how the former link and flow into the latter. Spring has plenty of that going on: a trench thrown over an ankle length dress evokes last winter, while the long minimalistic lines of the jersey dresses are a precursor to his big bold shouldered summer. But what resonates here, in the designer’s resort 2023 collection, is how this delivery tackles the twin pillars that the house of YSL was built on, the mid-century couture-era codes of tailleur (tailoring) and flou (anything soft and/or floaty), that are the very guiding principles of French fashion.
