Hedi Slimane’s First Collection for YSL Will Be Shown to Buyers Only

Hedi Slimane’s First Collection for YSL Will Be Shown to Buyers Only

Looks like we’ll have to wait even longer to see Hedi Slimane for Yves Saint Laurent in action: It’s just been announced that the newly appointed Creative Director won’t be hosting a runway presentation for his first collection at the iconic French house.

While some designers have chosen to escalate the prominence and visibility of their mid-season resort collections with an over-the-top show (cough, Chanel), WWD reports that Slimane has chosen the more low-key route of presenting his YSL women’s cruise and spring menswear to buyers only in late June or early July.

Fashion News Roundup: Mantyhose Are a Thing, Jourdan Dunn Says Kanye West’s Shoes Got ‘Fixed’, and the New Fall Chanel Nail Color Is Revealed

Mantyhose Exist: Men in tights exist outside the Sherwood Forest! In fact, hosiery retailer Emilio Cavallini told WWD that purchases by men (for themselves) now account for 2-3% of annual sales – and he’s now making unisex tights. While most men wear their mantyhose as a thin, long-underwear layer, some Euro style-setters have been seen wearing them under shorts as, well, tights. Hey, if J.Lo can wear a jock cup… {NY Mag}

Jourdan Dunn Says Kanye West’s Shoes Were “Fixed”: Despite all the worry surrounding Kanye West’s impossible-sounding shoes this season, it seems to have all worked out. Model Jourdan Dunn told Fashion Bomb Daily at the show’s after party that the towering stilettos “were actually ok! They fixed them!” No details on what was exactly “fixed” about the shoes… but for the models’ (and every potential future retailer’s) sake, we’re glad to hear it! {Fashion Bomb Daily}

Sienna Miller Talks Pregnancy to Vogue UK: Practically perfect pregnant person Sienna Miller looks extremely happy on the cover of Vogue UK‘s April issue (fully clothed, mind you!) and talks about her “bump” for the first time. The generally private style-maven says she’s “under strict instruction” not to say too much about the whole thing though, but I think we can all assume that there will be a (well-dressed) baby in the end. {Vogue UK}
