He decided this collection to be an ode to the purest forms of the Saint Laurent codes, which were described as “impeccable," "stellar," and "perfection”, paired with the only decoration coming from scrolled gold cuffs and disc earrings, or a pair of gold, fin-heeled wedge sandals. Beginning with a trenchcoat and building—naturally—to Le Smoking, in crep
