"One of the most striking things about the vision of the great Yves Saint Laurent was its entirety: Saint Laurent imagined a woman from head to toe, completely re-engineering an idea of beauty with a force few other designers could muster. The result was that every facet of a look, from jewellery to the knot of a bow to the dot of a veil,"
"That's a quality inherited by his successor, Anthony Vaccarello, whose commitment to a singular look is extraordinary and impactful. Again, he has created a brand identity so strong that Saint Laurent is semaphored by each individual aspect - here, a slender, high-heeled silk-satin pump has its potentially twee rosette in deep cognac reshaped into something angular, sharp, even vicious, as if to match Saint Laurent's predatory vision of powerful femininity."
Yves Saint Laurent envisioned complete looks, imagining a woman from head to toe and re-engineering beauty with a force few designers matched. Every facet of a look, from jewellery to bow knots and veil dots, became recognisably Saint Laurent, allowing any woman to buy into fragments of that dream. Anthony Vaccarello inherited that commitment to a singular, powerful look and strengthened a distinct brand identity. The Amalia Slingback Pump reshapes a potentially twee rosette into something angular, sharp and vicious, aligning with a predatory vision of powerful femininity. The shoe is named for model Amalia Vairelli and is offered in three colour combinations.
