Saint Laurent arrives at Promenaden
When Hedi Slimane departed Saint Laurent in 2016 the fashion industry speculated for months on who would be his predecessor. Hedi had reinvented the brand, the stores and global visual expression — so who would fill Hedi’s shoes? The answer was right under everyone’s nose – Anthony Vaccarello.
Anthony Vaccarello, the half-Belgian, half-Italian designer has made a name for himself by truly ‘bringing sexy back’ under his namesake brand. Cut-outs, draping and abnormal use of layers, textures and innovative fabrics — these are some of the words we would use to describe Vaccarello best.
Saint Laurent at Promenaden offers ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, sunglasses and jewellery for women and men.
The boutique stays true to the original aesthetic and décor of the Saint Laurent stores globally with white statuarietto marble, white statuario marble, black silk marble, structures in nickel pleated brass and suspended hang-bars — all in a contemporary Art Deco-esque interpretation of the French modernist movement in the early 20th century.
So why is Saint Laurent a perfect fit for Oslo? Saint Laurent offers the right kind of edge, the right kind of sexy and adds a youthful and trendy vibe to the heart of Oslo. The store is impossible to miss and is worth the visit, wether its to get yourself a timeless biker jacket or just to admire the architecture.
Saint Laurent is here — in the most timely manner.
