Latex dominated Vaccarello’s FW20 collection arriving in surprising pops of vibrant colors. In his postshow notes, the designer explained that his aim for this line was to channel a Saint Laurent ’90s-inspired nightlife look, which he described as “well-behaved and overly bourgeois elegance.” Other than latex, impeccably tailored blazers and jackets were seen on the runway paired with pencil skirts, chic scarves and thigh-high boots.
Beauty
Some models rocked a classic bold red lip, while others were given a soft burgundy hue, courtesy of YSL Beauty. Hairstyles ranged from slicked-back buns to edgy, punk bangs to complement the collection’s theme.
Accessories
Oversized gold-toned earrings and chain necklaces conquered this season’s jewelry selection. Earrings arrived in a variety of shapes including hearts and flowers, while necklaces featured accents of black stones in the center.
Attendance
This year’s front row saw the likes of BLACKPINK’s Rosé, Hailey Bieber, Lenny and Zoë Kravitz, Lily Collins, Rami Malek and Kit Harrington. Netflix stars were also spotted at the show including 13 Reasons Why‘s Tommy Dorfman and Stranger Things‘ Joe Keery.
