YSL rocks the cool factor with grungy teen spirit

Duffle coats, biker jackets, baby doll dresses and oversized cardigans at YSL show Hedi Slimane, the creative designer behind this year’s YSL ready-to-wear collection, is clearly tying to rock the cool factor by channeling as many music influences as he can. Very LA, very effortless the collection belongs at Coachella all year round.
With oversized plaid shirts tapping into Nirvana teen spirit worn over dresses she was obviously out the night before in, we get a self-assured sense of style. This is  Slimane's second outing at Saint Laurent and it seems to represent a younger generation of their customer base.
I loved the leather miniskirts and duffle coats, biker jackets and baby doll dresses, oversized cardigans over those little dresses, a splash of beads and embellishment and a constant sense of moody rebellion on parade.
On their own some pieces are nice but altogether it will be a hard collection for the traditional Yves Saint Laurent buyer and customer to embrace.
