More about YSL’s FW2022 collection

Anthony Vaccarello, the label’s creative director, drew inspiration from the style of 20th century poet Nancy Cunard for his brand new collection. Prominent chunky jewelry as well as masculine silhouettes were well favored by the poet.

The latest designs were a reflection of her look, like stacks of broad bracelets and heavy earrings coupled with minimalist outfits. With limited color selection, Vaccarello came out with some attractive outfits.

All the outfits are primarily designed with hues of black, white, brown, gray and beige. Long coats are created with distinct textures and patterns including, brown suede, black leather, brown and black fur, and a satin black trench coat.

The sleek cocktail gowns are made with black sheer fabric and white satins. The standout feature is a burgundy brown long leather coat rimmed with voluminous fur towards the collars and on the sleeves. Delicate large-sized, gold and red-colored, fabric flowers were pinned to dresses and outerwear that added a hint of romance to the collection.
