Saint Laurent is gearing up to unveil its newest men’s fashion collection in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. The renowned luxury fashion house has officially announced that the highly anticipated men’s fashion show will be held on June 6, as reported by WWD. Although specific details about the show are still under wraps, this bold move marks a fresh chapter in the brand’s history.
This strategic choice to host a fashion show in LA follows Saint Laurent’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, showcasing a series of striking menswear looks during the brand’s women’s show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year. By bringing its men’s collection to the West Coast, Saint Laurent is aligning itself with a growing trend in the ever-evolving fashion landscape.
Libertine, a cutting-edge ready-to-wear label, recently made headlines with its decision to transition from New York to LA for its upcoming show on April 26. This shift underscores the industry’s excitement and thirst for innovation, with designers and brands eagerly seeking new avenues to present their collections in fresh and exciting locations.
Founder of Libertine, Johnson Hartig, explained his rationale for the move, expressing a need for inspiration beyond New York Fashion Week and a desire to showcase his fall 2019 collection in the dynamic backdrop of Los Angeles. Being a native of the city, Hartig felt a deep connection to LA’s distinctive style and culture, making it the perfect setting to shine a spotlight on his brand.
In recent years, a growing number of fashion powerhouses such as Rodarte, Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff, and Jeremy Scott have opted to debut their collections in Los Angeles. These designers recognize the significance of venturing into new fashion territories and embracing diverse creative landscapes to engage with a broader audience and keep pace with changing trends.
By selecting LA as the venue for its upcoming men’s fashion show, Saint Laurent is showcasing its dedication to innovation and creativity. The brand’s bold departure from traditional fashion hubs and embrace of the dynamic energy of Los Angeles could pave the way for other luxury labels to expand their horizons, forge new connections, and resonate with a more diverse audience.
