Today (June 23), marked the first official day of the French capital\u2019s SS27 menswear shows, with Saint Laurent delivering the most impressive front row of the season so far.

To be more precise, that smoke was actually fog. And not just any old fog, but an immersive installation titled <\/span><em><span>Cloud #07156<\/span><\/em><span>, created by Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya. Made from water vapour, the wafting sculpture was not only a backdrop for the collection, but an active participant in it. As emphasised in the show notes, models performed a choreographed performance that saw them weave in and out of the fog, disappearing at times, before reappearing once again on the other side of the room. The space continued to fill with vapour throughout the duration of the show \u2013 as if the humidity in Paris wasn\u2019t bad enough already.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>FASHION\u2019S MOST COMMITTED FROW\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>It goes without saying that Saint Laurent and creative director <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/anthony-vaccarello\"><span>Anthony Vaccarello<\/span><\/a><span> have some powerful friends, but today, they proved their loyalty and commitment to the brand too. Despite the heat, not only did a slew of celebs show up, they came clad in heavy black leather jackets (Rami Malek), ankle-length dust jackets (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/yung-lean\"><span>Yung Lean<\/span><\/a><span>), and even sweltering, boil-in-the-bag, PVC rain macks (Connor Storrie).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Elsewhere, the major lineup of guests \u2013 also no doubt silently sweating \u2013 included <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/austin-butler\"><span>Austin Butler<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/kate-moss\"><span>Kate Moss<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/arca\"><span>Arca<\/span><\/a><span>, Joe Alwyn, Kento Yamazaki, Daisy Edgar-Jones and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/amelia-gray\"><span>Amelia Gray<\/span><\/a><span>, meanwhile <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/charli-xcx\"><span>Charli xcx<\/span><\/a><span> stayed true to her love of leather, wearing a calf-length crimson cocktail dress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After everyone had been seated inside, the guest of honour made her entrance. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/madonna\"><span>Madonna<\/span><\/a><span> was the undeniable star of the frow, ushered in wearing a sticky, coated lace dress, and squeezing in between Charli xcx and Connor Storrie.

A physical antidote to the endless scroll, the show notes described Vaccarello\u2019s personal quest to reject \u201cour constant need for more drama, more noise, more attention \u2013 and what happens when we choose to turn away from it.\u201d His muses this season came in the form of French writer Marguerite Duras (\u201cwhose writing found meaning in what remained unsaid\u201d), model and designer Tina Chow (\u201cwhose style embraced reduction\u201d), as well as Mr. Ripley, the fictional character created by Patricia Highsmith and played onscreen by Matt Damon (\u201cwhose outward composure concealed a far more complicated interior life\u201d).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This manifested on the runway with physical omissions from several looks. Suits appeared in the form of blazers with no shirts, or simply as a waistcoat and necktie. Some shirts were rendered almost pointless, nude in shade and completely transparent, leaving only a hazy outline around the torso. Meanwhile, the general palette was mostly neutral tones \u2013 stone, grey, black, brown and beige.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Luckily, toward the end of the show, as the room became increasingly smoky and the clothes became harder to see, the last several looks appeared in gleaming shades of gold, shimmering their way through the fog. Explained by the designer, this was an exercise in spinning gold from straw: \u201cA transformation of the utilitarian trench into something extraordinary while remaining practical.\u201d Beyond just the gold looks, it was a collection that cut through the fog, both physically and metaphorically.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

Here\u2019s everything you missed from the smoky yet star-studded YSL SS27 menswear show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>A SEVERE CASE OF BRAIN FOG\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"53b4e59a-9e56-45da-803f-b4720143c187\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/683\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/7\/1447928.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Saint Laurent men&apos;s SS27\" class=\"img\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/683\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/7\/1447928.jpg\" width=\"683\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Saint Laurent <span class=\"nowrap\">men&#8217;s SS27<\/span><\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Giovanni Giannoni\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>OK, OK. To be more precise, that smoke was actually fog. And not just any old fog, but an immersive installation titled <\/span><em><span>Cloud #07156<\/span><\/em><span>, created by Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya. Made from water vapour, the wafting sculpture was not only a backdrop for the collection, but an active participant in it. As emphasised in the show notes, models performed a choreographed performance that saw them weave in and out of the fog, disappearing at times, before reappearing once again on the other side of the room. The space continued to fill with vapour throughout the duration of the show \u2013 as if the humidity in Paris wasn\u2019t bad enough already.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>FASHION\u2019S MOST COMMITTED FROW\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>It goes without saying that Saint Laurent and creative director <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/anthony-vaccarello\"><span>Anthony Vaccarello<\/span><\/a><span> have some powerful friends, but today, they proved their loyalty and commitment to the brand too. Despite the heat, not only did a slew of celebs show up, they came clad in heavy black leather jackets (Rami Malek), ankle-length dust jackets (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/yung-lean\"><span>Yung Lean<\/span><\/a><span>), and even sweltering, boil-in-the-bag, PVC rain macks (Connor Storrie).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Elsewhere, the major lineup of guests \u2013 also no doubt silently sweating \u2013 included <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/austin-butler\"><span>Austin Butler<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/kate-moss\"><span>Kate Moss<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/arca\"><span>Arca<\/span><\/a><span>, Joe Alwyn, Kento Yamazaki, Daisy Edgar-Jones and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/amelia-gray\"><span>Amelia Gray<\/span><\/a><span>, meanwhile <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/charli-xcx\"><span>Charli xcx<\/span><\/a><span> stayed true to her love of leather, wearing a calf-length crimson cocktail dress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After everyone had been seated inside, the guest of honour made her entrance. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/madonna\"><span>Madonna<\/span><\/a><span> was the undeniable star of the frow, ushered in wearing a sticky, coated lace dress, and squeezing in between Charli xcx and Connor Storrie.

A physical antidote to the endless scroll, the show notes described Vaccarello\u2019s personal quest to reject \u201cour constant need for more drama, more noise, more attention \u2013 and what happens when we choose to turn away from it.\u201d His muses this season came in the form of French writer Marguerite Duras (\u201cwhose writing found meaning in what remained unsaid\u201d), model and designer Tina Chow (\u201cwhose style embraced reduction\u201d), as well as Mr. Ripley, the fictional character created by Patricia Highsmith and played onscreen by Matt Damon (\u201cwhose outward composure concealed a far more complicated interior life\u201d).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This manifested on the runway with physical omissions from several looks. Suits appeared in the form of blazers with no shirts, or simply as a waistcoat and necktie. Some shirts were rendered almost pointless, nude in shade and completely transparent, leaving only a hazy outline around the torso. Meanwhile, the general palette was mostly neutral tones \u2013 stone, grey, black, brown and beige.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Luckily, toward the end of the show, as the room became increasingly smoky and the clothes became harder to see, the last several looks appeared in gleaming shades of gold, shimmering their way through the fog. Explained by the designer, this was an exercise in spinning gold from straw: \u201cA transformation of the utilitarian trench into something extraordinary while remaining practical.\u201d Beyond just the gold looks, it was a collection that cut through the fog, both physically and metaphorically.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
