As previously reported, the first two YSL collections by newly-appointed head designer Hedi Slimane were only shown to buyers, which means no critics got to see the label's resort and menswear collections, presented at a showroom in Paris this week. The rationalization for all this secrecy seems to be a combination of the house wanting to pad Slimane's transitional period, since he's planning some big-scale brand overhaul that involves a name change and other modifications, as well as their understandable desire to avoid sharing the spotlight with Raf Simons's big Dior debut this week. Anyway, none of the buyers invited to see the collection were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so a couple of them recounted what they saw to the FT's Vanessa Friedman.
