The question of what to wear to Glastonbury next summer was answered at Paris Fashion Week last night as Hedi Slimane unveiled a collection which looked perfectly suited to the festival field.

Repurposing wellington boots and wax jackets with a luxurious Saint Laurent twist, the French designer sent out a homage to the It girls who populate Worthy Farm on its busiest weekend of the year.

The look, which was one part Kate Moss at watching Primal Scream at the Pyramid Stage and another, Courtney Love performing in King Tut’s, saw cropped denim shorts, lace slip dresses and biker jackets unveiled on the catwalk.

Denim dungarees, a signature of festival regular Alexa Chung, were among the more surprising additions to the Paris catwalk last night.

This was comfortable ground for Slimane who is no stranger to the world of rock and roll but it was also an opportunity for him to lead his woman onto more elegant territory.

Keen to assert himself as a designer with more classic red-carpet appeal, Slimane presented silk slip dresses - a prevailing trend for next summer - in hues of black and ivory.

While the collection broke few boundaries in terms of original aesthetics, it offered much for fans of the Saint Laurent label to rejoice in.

Punky prom queens wearing strapless leopard print mini dresses and diamonte trimmed tiaras joined the Glasto-goers on the catwalk last night. The look is certain to appeal to starlets and Slimane’s dedicated social media followers next season.
