The YSL show takes classic tailoring and adds a leather twist, be it cuffs, lapels, or panelling on the shoulders. March 2010 (13) February 2010 (22)

The dark polo neck teamed with belted tailored trousers is surely a nod to the stylings of Andy Warhol. Incidentally it is the artists voice that provides the soundtrack and his words are scribbled across a giant blackboard in Pariss prestigious Sorbonne University.

Models with severely slicked back hair wear everything from an entire leather outfit to a jumper with razorblade decorations (cue cutting edge puns). The entire monochrome collection would not look out of place in early nineties Soho, an image cultivated by Madonnas justify my love occasionally drawling in the background and one cross backed leather vest, which looks particularly fetishist.

Metal embellishments adorn much of the collection perhaps most strikingly atop the shoes and boots worn by the men. As well as the appearance of fur on coat lapels. Leather remains important for accessories as gloves and beautiful pochettes alike are crafted from it.
