A new era for legendary fashion house Yves Saint Laurent has begun. Top designer Hedi Slimane, YSL’s new and talented creative director, has decided to change the brand’s name to Saint Laurent Paris. This extreme and surprising move is just one part of the plan to bring new spirit and fresh designs to the rejuvenated brand.

When Hedi Slimane took over Stefano Pilati’s chair as the new creative director at Yves Saint Laurent back in March, a wind of change filled the air. Now the actual changes are taking place. The talented and innovative designer has decided to change the legendary brand’s name to a more casual and playful one. So, from now on – Yves Saint Laurent – OUT. Saint Laurent Paris – IN!

According to WWD, the new name should be implemented within a few months. By the time Slimane will reveal his Spring/Summer 2013 collection, the new name will replace the old one.

Though the new name came as a surprise, it matches Slimane’s plans to bring new spirit to the ancient fashion house. Freedom, youth and modernity are the designer’s new themes. But those themes are not going to replace the components that inspired legendary Yves Saint Laurent, the founder of the fashion house. According to Slimane, those inspirations will remain, but with a new twist that can draw a young and new crowd.

As remembered, in 1996 Slimane was the director of the YSL men’s ready-to-wear line. After the debut of his successful “Black Tie” collection, he chose to leave the brand in favour of another top French label Christian Dior Homme. In 2007 he decided to make another career turn and went back to his first love – photography.

Nowadays Hedi Slimane is working on his first ready-to-wear collection as Saint Laurent Paris’s creative director. The highly-anticipated collection will be revealed during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week. This fashion week will start on September 25th and will be over 8 days later, on October 3rd.

Israeli clothing giant, Castro, recently presented their new Fall/Winter collection for 2012-2013. FashionTV was front and center at the show in Tel Aviv, which calls for a colorful, stylish, and dramatic Fall/Winter season.

This year's collection is inspired by nostalgic fantasy across time and continents, from old fashioned European ski trips, Agatha Christie novels, and the style from 90’s television show ‘Twin Peaks’ to historical gothic era of medieval times.

Castro’s headlining model and spokesperson is popular Israeli model/actress Gal Gadot, who has appeared alongside Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in the Fast & Furious movies. Gadot, opened the show in a double-breasted brown trench coat along with sexy knee high boots. She was joined by Castro’s male headliner Yonatan Wegman.

Castro’s new winter collection is a brilliant combination of mystery and travel. Inspiration came from Eastern European heritage and folklore along with some gothic history. The result is a winter collection full of presence, rich textures, wool coats and dip effect. The collection is accompanied by touches of gold elements, specifically on military uniform coats and wool pants.

Additional fabrics such as nylon was in presence, designed with colorful quilt. Four separate lines were featured on the runway, BLUE Women, BLUE Men, RED Men and BLACK. Originally, the BLACK line was launched in the previous season and has already been known to give customers sophistication and trendiness to one’s personal style.

This year, models walked down the runway in leather trench coats, high-waisted leather flowy skirts and black velvet slim dresses with a low neckline. Thin and light transparent chiffon was delivered along with cropped camel-colored suits, burgundy shades and silk scarves. The runway also included hues of plum, teal, beige, brown and of course a whole lot of black. From pencil skirts to trench coats, the audience was completely surrounded in dramatic leather.

For men, Castro created trendy and elegant formalwear full of tailored silhouettes and strict suiting. Accessories included biker boots, umbrellas, wool scarves, leather gloves and oxford shoes.

Gadot and Wegman closed the show, strutting down the catwalk in full on black. Gadot sported a sweetheart draped gown and Wegman stunned in a black-collared trench coat over black suiting.
