Hedi Slimane took us on the road for spring - his 'with the band' outing dominated by retro-tinged leather jackets worn with printed miniskirts, ripped denim hot pants and baby doll dresses teamed with glittering, stage-issue platforms and bolero hats. The first look - a ruffled frock featuring a cherry print not unlike Pacha's infamous trademark - was, of course, a reference to Yves Saint Laurent's S/S 2001 Haute Couture show, not the super-club. But from here we were off and dancing with Slimane's latest rock'n'roll mistress. It was all wired for sound, a natural companion to 'Sonic', the creative director's photo exhibition at the Fondation Pierre Bergé, which peers backstage at Sunset Strip dive bars, Graceland and other dubious musical haunts. Crushed-leather trenches, military surplus worn with faded florals, plaited-leather belts and plunging glomesh tops tucked into bootcut trousers sealed this collection's youthful spirit. These were luxed-up versions of 1970s favourites that will no longer haunt the backs of wardrobes. Slimane closed the gig with arena-worthy fireworks: shimmery blazers, patchworked mini dresses, a gold-leather lapel on a house Le Smoking. From afar, Slimane's way of pairing sequinned jackets with ripped denim may reveal a high-low approach, but up close the pieces are for fangirls who want to give their best performance every day.
