SAINT LAURENT TO PRESENT MENSWEAR AT LOS ANGELES PALLADIUM IN FEBRUARY

French fashion giant Saint Laurent will break with tradition and show its fall/winter 2016 menswear, designed by Hedi Slimane, at the famed Los Angeles concert venue The Palladium on February 10. The show will also include “Part 1” of its women’s collection, with “Part 2” scheduled to be presented in Paris on March 7.

As the company pointed out, the L.A. show is being presented just five days before the 58th Annual Grammy Music Awards. According to a statement released by the company, “Saint Laurent at the Palladium is a tribute to the strong music scene in Los Angeles and is the second project of Hedi Slimane in Los Angeles after his exhibition, California Song, at the L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art in 2011.”

Slimane, who has lived in Los Angeles since 2008, has spent the past decade creating “The Hedi Slimane Diary,” which is a photography blog about the emerging music scene.
