Hedi Slimane's collection was a total overhaul of the legacy created by Yves Saint Laurent. Pieces that could only be described as high end luxury grunge, took the 90's trend to a prize point that perhaps the alternative girl would not be accustomed to. Plenty of plaid, boho chic and babydoll cuteness paired with bulky outer pieces made up the collection.
