Wild Side. #OutfitOfTheDay

I've wanted to build a look around Saint Laurent for a while and with the new pieces that have dropped at SSENSE, I knew I had found my opportunity to work with something.

Heidi Slimane has totally revolutionized the consumer profile of Saint Laurent, formerly known as YSL, his new looks pay homage to rock and roll through silhouette, print and image but remains true to the quality and ethos of the brand.

Animal print is a key player this season, a look I have coming up takes on the trend of snake print but for now I want to show you this Leopard coat. I realise it's a pretty garish number, I'm not expecting this look to appeal to everyone but the style and shape makes for an easy alternative in grey or navy. Keeping with the essence of Saint Laurent I wanted to keep my trousers slim and fitted going for these black jeans also from Saint Laurent. I personally, felt that the black under the jacket looked to prominent so I've opted for this simple white silk t-shirt from T by Alexander Wang.

I wanted to channel a different sort of message through my accessories. I wanted to create a more indie (Hipster ) tone, so I opted for chunk and clunk rather than slim. In one of my recent posts I discussed the need for a black leather backpack this winter. Even though this bag wasn't on my list, this bag from MCQ by Alexander McQueen is pretty awesome! I've paired it with this beautiful chunky desert boots by A.P.C. Neither hipster or rock star, I've chosen this blue XL wallet from Comme Des Garcon, it's fun and a splash of colour to inject amongst more simple pieces.
