This February, as the fashion world grappled with uncertainty about how to unveil new collections in the era of Instagram and instant gratification, two game-changing shows took place less than 24 hours apart on opposite sides of the country. So we made a mad dash with photographer Pari Dukovic to document them both. First, Saint Laurent hosted an unprecedented rock ‘n’ roll fashion circus in Los Angeles—far from its usual slot during Paris Fashion Week—showing men’s and women’s clothes to decked-out celebrities at the Hollywood Palladium, a notorious rock club. The scene inside the Palladium was head-spinning: Bieber pulled up on a skateboard. Sylvester Stallone looked statuesque in a suit. A phalanx of current and future Rock & Roll Hall of Famers turned up: Mark Ronson, Courtney Love, Lenny Kravitz (with Lisa Bonet and Zoë in tow), Joan Jett, Father John Misty, and many more. Then the rock ’n’ roll fashion show turned into an actual rock ’n’ roll concert. See more at GQ Style.
