Manson and Rock'n'Roll for Saint Laurent
Wednesday 3rd April 2013 | Serena
Hedi Slimane as creative director of Saint Laurent continues to impress with the transgressive choices -both positively and negatively- outside the classical canon and out of the traditional view of the famous French fashion house Yves Saint Laurent.
The new face for the as campaign of the label is Marilyn Manson, the dark American rocker not much present on the scene for a while, whit his classical punk look, pale face and eyeliner.
Slimane, which was very disputed for his latest collection shown in Paris, recalls in a press release that the famous Maison of haute couture has always interacted, from birth, with icons of rock and pop music: "In May of 1971, Yves Saint Laurent dress Mick and Bianca Jagger for their wedding in Saint-Tropez, for instance. And also Beck and Courtney Love posed for our campaigns."
Portraits in the ad campiagn of Saint Laurent, Courtney Love, much mentioned in the reviews of the show A / W 2013 because, according to many, has been primary source of inspiration for the designer,and Beck, Kim Gordon and Ariel Pink.
Which are your feelings about it? Framing this way the collection in a music project, is more appreciable. It remains however far from the true heart of the elegant fashion house.
