In an announcement that dropped into our inboxes mere moments ago, we have received word that Anthony Vaccarello won’t show his eponymous label during Paris Spring Summer 2017 fashion week. Ordinarily, this would be very sad news and the source of a possible fashion-based meltdown, but fear not – Vaccarello is pressing pause on his own brand to concentrate on his new position helming Yves Saint Laurent. We’ll let him off. The designer will be showing his debut collection for the Parisian house this season, a prospect for which we are obviously foaming at the mouths in anticipation. No word as yet as to whether this is the goodbye of the label or just a short break, the designer saying this morning that he wished to thank everybody who has supported his brand since it launched in 2008. “This adventure has been amazing but I now feel the need to fully focus on this new project,” he said in the statement.
