YSL Makes Travel Clothes, Banishes Hoodies Forever?

YSL edition 24.jpg
This Spring, Alexander McQueen unveiled his Samsonite luggage - but you couldn't carry it unless you liked the way his suitcases looked like skeletons.

An easier option?

Stefano Pilati's “Edition 24,� a collection for YSL geared towards “young women who work and who travel.� (As opposed to regular YSL, which is aimed at those who travel but don't usually work...)

If you missed the Nick Knight 24-hour promo film for the line last week, don’t despair – you’ll be able to see it – and more importantly, the full collection when it debuts on September 15.

The line is based on the classic, iconic YSL staples, except in materials that are more weather-resistant and way more suitcase-scrunchable.

Also, the whole collection – 50 pieces in all – is in black, white, or khaki to facilitate matching while jetlagged, and “seasonless,� so you’ll be all set whether your destination leans more towards the Arctic or closer to the equator.

We are totally smitten. But does this mean we can’t wear our old, beaten hoodie on the plane anymore?

I like the idea of a practical, stylish, seasonless line. Where I live it's too hot to wear fall styles in the fall, yet it feels wrong to wear summer clothes in October. I'd wear something like these YSL pieces even if I weren't traveling.

Anyone know about prices? All those plane tickets get expensive!
