YSL S/S 2010- "Melinda"

"Melinda", directed by Samuel Benchetrit and starring his son Jules, opened the Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2010 men's show.

I just had to share this with you guys! Aside from the film used to open the Gareth Pugh F/W 09 show, this is probably one of the best video presentations I've ever seen. It is becoming more and more common for designers to introduce their collections with video installations because they introduce viewers to the themes and moods of a collection before the clothes hit the runway. More often than not, however, I've found that the video presentations are just too.....much. Not this one, however! "Melinda" is nothing more than coherent, artistic, beautifully directed, and a pleasure to watch. A+
