My Five - Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2012

This was Stefano Pilati's last collection for YSL, which kind of makes me sad, I've come to love his work there.  It felt like an homage to the wide shouldered, leather clad 80's gals.  It was all about black, large, scattered prints and chain mail.  Sounds scary, right?  Well, it's not, it's actually quite lovely.  But really what I want to discuss are the shoes - the SHOES!  The amazing, gorgeous, fantastic shoes!  Swoon city, people!  Check them out:

What do you think?

 Here are a couple of outfit picks - I mostly focused on the chain mail pieces because I found them the most interesting.  It's a material that comes off very tough and industrial, but he manages to use them in very ladylike ways.  I love that mix.

 Pencil skirt?  Yes, please!

Sheath?  Hello!
