Saint Laurent Paris (SLP) SS14 "Blood Luster" Embroidered Biker Jacket
Product Overview A crowning achievement from Hedi Slimane’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection, this "Blood Luster" L17 biker jacket is one of the most iconic and recognizable pieces in modern high-fashion history. Featuring the seminal "Blood Fang" artwork by artist Luke Thomas, this jacket transitioned instantly from the runway to legendary archival status. It perfectly captures the "Psych Rock" aesthetic of the era, blending classic 1950s motorcycle subculture with a dark, cinematic vampire-glam edge.
Key Design Elements
Iconic Back Graphic: The reverse features the legendary "Blood Luster" patch—a pair of fangs dripping with a single drop of blood, rendered in vibrant red and white crystals and intricate embroidery.
Premium L17 Construction: Built on the classic L17 motorcycle jacket block, crafted from substantial, high-grade calfskin leather that offers a significant weight and a natural, semi-matte grain.
Aggressive Hardware: Finished with heavy-duty, high-polish silver-tone zippers and hardware, including the signature buckled waist belt, snapped epaulets, and a traditional asymmetrical zip closure.
Signature Silhouette: Features Slimane’s definitive razor-sharp tailoring, characterized by high armholes, narrow shoulders, and a slightly cropped waistline designed to create a streamlined, rock-star profile.
Measurements & Fit Note
Tagged Size: 42 (Smallest available men's size)
Note: This is a "Golden Size" for those seeking the authentic, ultra-slim Hedi Slimane silhouette. Size 42 is notoriously difficult to source and is intended for a very slender frame. The jacket is designed to be worn open or fitted tightly to the body; please be aware that the rigid calfskin leather will provide a highly structured, armor-like fit.
