Anthony Vaccarello's most recent Saint Laurent men's show in Berlin painted an aesthetic tableau of exceptional tailoring, bare shoulders framed by delicate silk or chiffon sleeveless shirts, and a broad-shouldered silhouette. In the age of social media, hints of the show's direction were gleaned from Vaccarello's Instagram, even before the audience's planes had landed.

The models, adorned with trending double arrows on their eyelids (similar to those we saw on Lily-Rose Depp in "The Idol"), strode in 3D-printed boots.
