Saint Laurent Fall 2014 RTW

Hedi Slimane, man of mystery (he almost never talks to the press), has hit his stride with womenswear at Saint Laurent. It is plain to see what he’s talking about, and who he’s talking to—a girlfriend and a boyfriend, neither born much earlier than 1990—and his method of putting out that message has become relentless, convincing, mesmeric. Daring to repeat and repeat variations of the same coat, the same cape, the same tiny dress, the same low-heeled knee-high boots and glittery Mary Janes, and by putting them on an army of characterful, head-turning gawky-pretty teens, Slimane stokes irrepressible shopping desires. After you’ve seen your sixth, seventh, tenth variation on a Saint Laurent boot, it’s hard to resist. Same with the reiteration of the coats and the velvet Peter Pan–collared dresses and the skimpy sequined shifts.

90's Street Style is Back

Gungy street style never looked as glamorous as it does in this Amica February 2014 pictorial.

Photographer Fanny Latour-Lambert snaps up this fashion shoot, set on a dirty city street. You can clearly see old Beatles posters coming off the buildings and the paint on the walls chipping. This all adds to the grungy downtown city vibe. Model Corinna Ingenleuf strolls the city streets with her short brown bob in her face and a standoffish city-sleeker posture.

The fashion in this Amica February 2014 shoot is all very casual, but totally cool. Leather pants and distressed denim jeans complement loose-fitting tee shirts, chunky knit sweaters and casual blazers or jackets. The accessories are kept to a relaxed minimum with small leather-woven bracelets, subtle pendant necklaces and one very boho scarf that completes an outfit.
