Turn on, tune in, and drop out of the basic summer looks. It's time to get a serious hit of hippie. 

Saint Laurent F/W 2014 C

So this fall and winter I have been completely in the Sixties and Seventies mood. The Rolling Stones, Mamas and the Papas, and Jimi Hendrix have been on constant repeat and the Saint Laurent F/W campaign is forever on my mind. I thought I would spread the love around and show some of my favorite shots from the campaign. The outfits that are giving me the greatest chills. Plus, the new faces of Saint Laurent Men Dylan Brosnan and Jack Kilmer (yes, that is his dad).

Masculinity vs. Femininity

Suits, baseball caps, and sneakers; one could easily mistake this for a typical boy’s wardrobe. But fashion is changing. We have been taking influence from the boys for decades. In the 20s, Coco Chanel rocked Breton stripes and suit pants while the other girls pranced around in the flapper dresses of the day. Katharine Hepburn made the three-piece suit her trademark in the 1930s and 40s, turning it into a sexy woman’s staple. Yves Saint Laurent created some of the best pantsuits for women and dressed the icons of the seventies, such as, Bianca Jagger, Laura Hutton, and Charlotte Rampling. Androgyny consumed fashion in the eighties and nineties. And now in fashion, the tomboy look is the top trend.
