Spring and summer is well and truly underway and I've been loving looking through how other people are rockin' the trends. Instead of sitting here in envy over these amazing outfits and crying into my empty purse, I'm going to put my energy into sharing my favourite looks with you. You are SO welcome.

The title of this post sounds like I'm mourning the death of Hedi (although he is very much still alive), but that is almost what it feels like after hearing the news of his departure from Saint Laurent (might be a slight exaggeration there but I'm gonna go with it for dramatic effect). Saint Laurent changed my perspective of fashion and menswear in particular. Slimane's designs made me wish I was a guy, simply so I could look THAT cool in a pair of leather trousers and a button up shirt. Basically, Saint Laurent served me greatness season after season and it makes me very sad that the man that has inspired my own personal style is parting ways with such an incredible brand. It took me a few days to type up this post as since the news was released on April 1st, I wanted to believe that it was all a terrible April Fools prank. Unfortunately not, so instead I'm going to leave you with a collection of my favourite looks so we can all look back at his wonderful era together and appreciate what Hedi brought to the fashion industry. 

Yeezy has outstretched beyond his calm colour palette, introducing burnt reds, oranges and yellows - which I am totally a fan of. As well as colouring, he's involved patterns rather than the "blank canvas" effect that he has used in previous seasons. The collection looks autumnal, although still sticking to the classic neutral theme. 

The whole collection still has a military-esque theme that has been continued through the seasons. The menswear still consists of the baggy, oversized jumpers and jackets whereas womenswear was skintight and looked almost naked. Aviator style jackets have been added which I think is a great expansion from previous collections and adds a new vibe which Seasons 1 and 2 lacked. 

More texture has been added into Season 3 with the (minimal) use of fur and suede. Denim has also been shown through baggy dungarees - which I personally wouldn't expect to see in one of his collections, but it works. 

Each season seems to be an expansion of one another. Slowly, but subtly, evolving into more dimensional garments and each collection takes its form even further. West is really showing what he can do as a designer (with a little help from Adidas) and I personally think he is killing it.
