YSL Fall Winter 08/09 Menswear Full Show.

Stefano Pilati, creative director at Yves Saint-Laurent, or YSL, decided for his fall 2008 menswear show he was going to do things a bit differently. Tired of the old up and down of traditional runway shows Pilati abandon the idea for a seven minute video featuring his latest designs. The video stars British actor Simon Woods, also known as Caesar Octavian from the HBO show Rome and Mr. Bingley in the Keira-classic Pride and Prejudice. The video is energetic and fly as hell; much more exciting then seeing eastern European teenagers clomp up and down a catwalk. The soundtrack is dope as well, Portished, LCD Sound System, Lou Reed, and Bowie remixed by Brian Eno. Oh and the clothes look great too, but what wouldn’t look great while jumping through plate-glass?
