THE Saint Laurent SS17 collection – with a focus on accessories – boasts statement earrings, simple side bags and stilettos. The subtle Y embellished on some of the pieces, such as the back of a heel or the front of a bag clasp, anchors the collection firmly within the YSL brand.
The shoes in the collection are classic Saint Laurent style court heels. A fine strap around the ankle with a stiletto heel – some in patent leather, others in patterned woven fabric.

The bags in the Spring/Summer collection are also inherently YSL. Black is the standard colour with patent leather and subtle snakeskin messenger bags with the engraved metal Saint Laurent plaque crowning each bag.
