YSL growing in the USA

 I know it was few months back but at the MTV video music awards I noticed Yves Saint Laurent was popping up all over the place on the guys. I actually like the styling on Justin Bieber above with the tux jacket, YSL pendant, gold chains and red denim. Not a fan of the leopard print sneakers though!!!
 Here is Big Sean in a £3,000 YSL mock neck sweater cardigan paired with a vintage gold Versace belt and Rolex. I do like aspects of urban hip hop fashion when it comes to dressing down and being in casual mode i.e. the baseball caps, loose fit jeans and high tops. Also from a stylists perspective I like the way that by adding to the basic hip hop look of a baggy tee and denim, a real high end luxury piece like this zip up takes it to another level.
 As a brand theYSL logo is recognisable around the world and I have to say its a clever move targeting the US and the hip hop market to advertise the brand. Watch out for US stars and celebs showing off the famous three letters..
