It’s in a Hedi Slimane photoshoot that Cara Delevingne lasciviously strikes her pose alongside Cole Smith, reflecting with the same singularity the grunge universe that the designer attempts to infuse into his collections with an elegant melancholy. The creative director for Yves Saint Laurent uninhibitedly integrates musical flow into fashion:“I photograph a lot of musicians, and, as you know, music is often two or three years ahead of fashion. It’s in realizing this that I find ideas for my work here.”
Indeed, after signing Marilyn Manson, the unexpected muse, then Courtney Love with her rock-romantic allures for the Spring/Summer 2013 season, it’s now Cara’s turn to incarnate the Saint Laurent woman. A woman who, each season, adopts a grungy look and dresses in ripped leather jeans, light suits, suggestive pinafore dresses, leather coats and shearling jackets. An austere, chic, cool, and subtly sexy allure.
