Saint Laurent, from the catwalks a new way to wear wallet clutches

Saint Laurent is the maison-symbol of androgynous sensuality: an allure that Anthony Vaccarello has brought back – finally – on the Paris Fashion Week catwalk, bringing out a new, curious how to carry the wallet clutch bag. A styling exercise? Not only that: what the Spring / Summer 2022 collection wants to express – like many other shows in recent weeks, from New York to Milan – is a renewed spirit of celebration, for which Anthony Vaccarello took inspiration from a strong, creative and worldly figure at the same time: Paloma Picasso, daughter of the famous painter , Tiffany & Co designer and entrepreneur.

The clutches in fact, which are no longer carried by hand or with a special chain, but slipped out of pants and belts, resume a mischievous gesture that Vaccarello has seen a Paloma picasso, and which perfectly embodies the light-heartedness, combined with a touch of aristocratic sartorial swagger, of the new collection by Saint Laurent. Casual becomes chic and chic becomes casual, including jackets of impeccable workmanship, but suitable for any occasion, tight-fitting spandex trousers, couture pleats and weaves typical of 80s dresses, fished out from the maison’s archives.

The wallet clutch, worn nonchalantly halfway inside trousers or skirts, without the need for words narrate a contemporary mood that Saint Laurent wanted to express through his lens, between suggestions of the male wardrobe and ultra and provocative femininity, but not only: reminds us of the beauty of lightness, dance evenings and cocktail parties, in which you are too busy sharing a moment of sociability, to hold your bag or worry about where to put it. In line with this spirit, we have selected in the gallery above 10 designer clutches and bags, to wear as Anthony Vaccarello teaches in the Spring / Summer 2022 fashion show.
