After other luxury brands have sought to up the stakes on the unveiling of their cruise collections by setting up runways in Shanghai (Dior) or St. Tropez (Chanel), <a href="http://">Yves Saint Laurent designer Stefano Pilati announced he will show the brand's cruise/pre-spring collection at the French Consulate in New York on June 3.
Visiting the Upper East Side manse to view a runway show within one of the consulate's opulent salons may be even more exciting than going for a French visa (all the francophile goodness without lines and paperwork). <a href="http://">WWD describes the impending affair as "small-scale", which we're translating as uber-exclusive to the industry's top doyennes.
