The news that Hedi Slimane has abandoned his role as creative director at Saint Laurent – resulting in the appointment of Anthony Vaccarello – has left many disoriented, although the rumours had been in the air for a long time. His androgynous style with bold rock'n'roll references had become one with the name of the brand, which not by chance was changed to Saint Laurent Paris, removing that Yves which caused much discussion.
Now that Hedi is no longer there, and that his collections will still be on sale only for a short time, it is time for collectors and enthusiasts to grab the last pieces by the designer – actually renewed for their timelessness. The shoe gurus of Footwear News have decided to draw up a ranking, which enshrines the ten models signed Slimane – both for him and for her – that will go down in history:
#1 Saint Laurent Cat bootie in patent leather
#2 Saint Laurent Motorcycle 15 needlepoint boot
#3 Saint Laurent Candy 80 platform with bow
#4 Saint Laurent signature Rangers studded punk sole boot
#5 Saint Laurent Babies 40 Mary Jane heels in glitter
#6 Saint Laurent signature classic high-top sneaker with leopard print detail (Men)
#7 Saint Laurent glitter covered Wyatt boots (Men)
#8 Saint Laurent Hedi 30 jodhpur boot in suede (Men)
#9 Saint Laurent classic Hedi 40 chelsea boot (Men)
#10 Saint Laurent classic Wyatt 40 harness boot in suede (Men)
