   LVMH had subsidized this design house along with several others during Fashion Week, including Statkevicius and On Aura Tout Vu.
   Fred Sathal, meanwhile, clearly took inspiration from a mixture of native American and safari sources. Capes, ponchos and feathers were more down-home on the ranch, in a Lucky Luke sort of way. There is no return to the safari suit—at least not in the way Yves St Laurent would ever have imagined.
