If there's one collection that's going to absolutely blow the fashion world away this season, it's Saint Laurent's Autumn/Winter 2024 womenswear collection. Seriously, it's everywhere - on magazine covers, on celebrities and on our minds because we just can't stop thinking about it! Sexy, bold and people are talking about it. Let's see what makes this collection so special!

First of all, sheer dresses. But not just any see-through dresses - they're made from a fabric as fine as our finest and thinnest hosiery. That's right, Anthony Vaccarello made hosiery fashion and frankly, I became obsessed with it - and many others. From hunter green to a million shades of maroon, midnight blue and nude, the collection is a masterclass in how to be practically naked but still elegant enough to make everyone's jaw drop. Some might say, "How can you base an entire collection on that?". But that is the genius of Vaccarello. His vision is not just boldly stunning, it's Parisian to the core. While other designers sometimes seem to be searching for their identity, under the creative direction of Vaccarello at Saint Laurent, he knows exactly what it is: sexy, confident and always a little bit dangerous.

And Vaccarello is also well aware of history - obviously. The earthy palette of olive greens, caramel browns and deep browns pays homage to Yves Saint Laurent himself, a true master colourist. And let's not forget the textures: translucent silk dresses, tight knits and bright highlights. The way these fabrics drape, fold and shimmer is like a love letter to the house's heritage. But it's not just about nostalgia. This collection feels modern, even revolutionary in its celebration of the body. "Nothing is more beautiful than a naked body. The most beautiful garment that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for the ones who have not been lucky enough to discover this happiness, I am here." Yves Saint Laurent once said it, and Vaccarello clearly agrees. These clothes - or veils, really - don't hide anything, but they don't apologise for it either. They are about freedom. They are about accepting your own skin, your own power.

Obviously, not everyone sees it that way. There will always be those who focus on the revealing nature of the collection, saying it is too vulnerable. But this criticism completely misses the point. Saint Laurent's transparency has never been about weakness. It was about empowerment. It is about women taking control of their sexuality and feeling confident in their own skin. The exquisite details, razor-sharp accessories, dramatic silhouettes and expertly draped fabrics that move like a second skin. Every detail plays its part in a collection that is both timeless and forward-thinking.
With the AW 2024 collection, Anthony Vaccarello reminded us why Saint Laurent is such a force in fashion. Provocative, beautiful and deeply confident. And in a world where everyone is trying to play it safe, this confidence seems to be the biggest statement.
