The
Saint Laurent collection that just walked the Paris runway is very
Heidi Slimane and little
Yves Saint Laurent. Love him or hate him he's continuing on the way mapped out since his arrival to the french house: deliver dresses that youth generations want to wear inspired by the world of rock music. For many
Slimane is making dresses that sell and he's choosing business over innovation. And what is a fashion show without pure creativity? As fashion enthusiastic we want to see collections that push the limits of creativity a little further, we want to fall in love with clothes we have never seen before and from that moment on we cannot live without, but that's not always easy or profitable for a fashion house to do that. Let's forget for a second the name of the label and watch the collection. It's youthful and very wearable with a lot of short dresses for party girls, a lot of black and leather for the dark lady and a few polite suits made sexy is worn with see through shirts (
watch the full collection here). It might not being innovative, but maybe it's just what young (rich) girls want to wear now. For Slimane his line is a start over. Forget Yves Saint Laurent, this is Heidi (Saint Laurent). And while we try to find answers to questions like: what should be the difference between a clothing line and a fashion collection? Why can't Slimane have his own line? How hard is it to collect the heritage of a brand and make up-to-date collections? Look at the tribute to
Yves Saint Laurent that
Slimane put in his latest collection: the
dress with the "lips print". Originally designed by Yves Saint Laurent in 1971 the "lips print" becomes a short dress for 2014 and even shiny on the top decorated with sequined lips appliques.
The easiest way to decorate a top with the funny
lips print is to buy
iron on lips sequin appliques and iron them on
or you can glue a trim of sequins giving them the shape of lips. If sequins are too flashy for you can just draw lips over a t-shirt with fabric markers.
Below you'll find more "lips print" inspiration.
