On the second evening of Paris Fashion Week, Anthony Vaccarello celebrated his decade-long tenure as creative director of Saint Laurent. To commemorate such an occasion, the Belgian designer chose to present an almost entirely gold collection (from lamé to brocade), before concluding with a series of black gowns and a performance by Charlotte Gainsbourg. In the middle of Trocadero Square, beneath huge gold chandeliers, the spectacular set was inspired by the ballroom of the InterContinental Hotel, where Monsieur Saint Laurent used to unveil his haute couture collections. This season, everything Vaccarello touched turned into pure gold – literally. After a decade at Saint Laurent, could this really be Anthony Vaccarello’s last show for the house?

“Absolutely brilliant. The set is amazing. All his best shows combined together. He fits perfectly into the history of YSL. I loved it. Vaccarello brought fashion week to life.” (Brandon J Pierre)
“Terrible performance. No matter how high-end you try to make it look and style, the gold lamé screams tacky.” (fashionpower)
“The same shadows again and again, again and again! What could have been a half-decent collection, ruined by endless repetition!” (metb123)
“This show was really a synthesis of his tenure. Everything looks beautiful: the sets, the production, the soundtrack, the models, even (most of) the clothes. There’s no fashion to offer – worse, no desire to do so. Pretty packaging, there’s nothing to it.” (mark10)
