Corset Patent-Leather Belt

Having introduced androgynous tailoring back in the 60s, Saint Laurent is at the forefront of blurring the boundaries between languid shapes and body-hugging accessories. For AW21, the powerhouse continues to indulge boyish blazers and tailored trousers that are offset by their accessories. Sculpted from patent leather, this wide-shaped belt is corset-inspired but forgoes the lace-up fastening in favour of a square buckle – it is a belt, after all.

• 80% calfskin leather, 20% brass

Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear. Today, the iconic label is fronted by Anthony Vaccarello, who aims to explore Saint Laurent’s early years through his creations.
