Exclusive Saint Laurent Preview

HEDI SLIMANE'S second collection for Saint Laurent hit the stores yesterday, and with it a new collection of accessories.
Slimane's Saint Laurent show in March was one of the most eagerly anticipated of the season, and fans of the collection will be pleased to hear that for his pre-autumn/winter 2013-14 accessories collection he continues to make his signature indie imprint on the French fashion house.
Trophy items from the new line include The Baby Duffle, The Rock Chelsea Boot, The Slipper and the Vermeil Jewellery Collection.


The Baby Duffle

The Baby Duffle finds its design roots in Hedi Slimane's own duffle bag that he created for personal use in the Saint Laurent leather atelier in April 2012. The designer used it to travel between LA and Paris.



The Baby Duffle

After proving popular with his friends, Slimane made one for Pierre Bergé and another for Gwyneth Paltrow (after a personal request from the actress) before putting it into official production for his debut spring/summer 2013 collection for the label.


The Baby Duffle

More compact than its namesake, The Baby Duffle comes in cream, oxblood and forest green for pre autumn/winter 2013-14 - its inaugural season. The style will now take its permanent place in the Saint Laurent accessories collection.


The Slipper

The Slipper has a loafer silhouette and all the comfort of, well, a slipper. This season's main colourway is the Babycat (seen here), a print that Slimane has designed himself, drawing inspiration from the label's archive.

The Rock Chelsea Boot

Introduced for pre autumn/winter 2013-14, the Rock Chelsea Boot has a simple and timeless design.


Vermeil Jewellery Collection

New styles for pre autumn/winter 2013-14 incorporate the label's heritage design aesthetic of juxtaposing silver and gold - vermeil is sterling silver coated in 18 karat gold.


The Slipper

The new style also comes in everyday black for its initial pre autumn/winter 2013-13 outing.


The Rock Chelsea Boot

The style comes in black leather, black python and metallic (seen here) for its first season.

Vermeil Jewellery Collection

Moving forward, the pieces will form a part of the permanent Saint Laurent accessories collection.

Vermeil Jewellery Collection

The Vermeil Jewellery Collection was first introduced for spring/summer 2013 and designed to be worn by men and women.
