details on exactly how Yves Saint Laurent would shift to ended up being Saint Laurent Paris have only ended up being a lot more muddled as time has used on. When Hedi Slimane was revealed as the brand’s new innovative director months ago, he revealed the line’s new name. At first, it seemed as though the “Saint Laurent Paris” nomenclature would only apply to ready-to-wear as well as the old YSL logo would still be used. however wait, then the new logo was unveiled, as well as the brand’s pr attire revealed a naming system that includes Yves Saint Laurent, Saint Laurent, Saint Laurent Paris as well as Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane, depending upon the type of product in concern as well as exactly how the name is being used.
Personally, I long back stopped trying to decode what it is that Slimane as well as PPR are trying to force on us. They’re trying to make “fetch” happen, as well as it seems like a lot of fashion watchers aren’t completely getting it, maybe mainly since they can’t figure out precisely what they’re being asked to buy. Those worries over branding have radiated out into other areas of the business, as well as for us, the huge concern has always been, “What’s going to occur to the bags?” It appears like we’re starting to discover out.
First, the Saint Laurent Paris traditional Duffel debuted, as well as although other publications have heralded it as the next huge Thing, we (and you, judging by the comments) are not so sure. now there’s the subtle makeover of the exceptionally successful Yves Saint Laurent Cabas ChYc, which has been rechristened the Saint Laurent Paris Cabas Classique. You may have observed a dearth of Cabas ChYc choices at merchants lately – only the fundamentals stay at a lot of places, in spite of resort 2013 shipments coming in left as well as right. That appears to be the result of a coming shift in the YSL (SLP?) product line.
At Nordstrom, a bag that appears to be a Cabas ChYc however is called a Cabas Classique is offered for pre-order for $2,150, the exact same cost as the medium version of the ChYc. The only difference appears to be the bag’s height – Nordstrom listings it at nine inches, while all the listings I can discover for the previous design put it ideal around 11. The brand suggested that modifications to the bag going ahead would be restricted (until public rate of interest starts to wane, presumably), as well as a two-inch difference in dimension as well as a moderate name modification are very little indeed. The two-inch difference may even be attributable to a difference in measuring requirements across retailers; there’s no method to tell at the moment. Personally, I’m a bit underwhelmed; the Cabas has been around for a number of seasons as well as might really utilize a re-imagining, as well as it’s unusual that Slimane declined to do it.
