This season, Anthony Vaccarello turned to nature for a show-stopping backdrop to present his latest collection.

When it comes to fashion shows, the male industry still has a lot to learn from the grand performances of his female counterpart; especially considering the idyllic outbids of&nbsp;recent female cruise collection presentations.&nbsp;But in some cases, menswear&nbsp;brands are beginning to challenge the female&nbsp;outbids. Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello surprised the industry with his first male show for Yves Saint Laurent a year ago.&nbsp;Since then, relocation and&nbsp;distinction of menswear&nbsp;seems to be sweeping&nbsp;east and&nbsp;west throughout Europe.&nbsp;Although 10,000 kilometers away and 15-hour time difference, Prada and Yves Saint Laurent chose to parade&nbsp;on the same day. On June 6, 2019, Prada opened the first event in Shanghai in an explosion of colors. Subsequently,&nbsp;the house <a href="https://www.ysl.com" target="_blank">Saint Laurent</a>&nbsp;closed in an irresistibly romantic monochrome procession with a slight twist.

The simple fact that Vaccarello&nbsp;chose the small beach of Paradise Cove in Malibu suggests&nbsp;many allusions. The designer boldly stated that &quot;LA is the new Marrakesh,&quot; a fitting comparison considering Yves Saint Laurents affinity for the Moroccan city.&nbsp; We saw this in the form of wide harem pants, a stark deviation of the skinny jeans that have become synonymous with the house. Posing&nbsp;a podium of black wooden slats on the sand, kissed&nbsp;by the waves of the Pacific Ocean, the scene immediately set&nbsp;the spirit of the house, known for freedom, bold lines, and modernity.&nbsp;

The collection is directly inspired by the electric sensuality of a young Mick Jagger, mid-seventies era. The site boasted a dark atmosphere, ethereal, filiform, evanescent silhouettes tinged with contrasting rock details. A true aesthetic marvel for the eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some vintage pieces from the personal dressing room of the English rock-star were sources of inspiration for the French designer. In such concern for authenticity, we better understand the invitation to travel. And just like Jagger, Saint Laurent got its moves.&nbsp;
