That was the grand total of suits that Hedi Slimane sent down the runway for his final menswear hurrah as the creative director of Saint Laurent during the fall 2016 shows last February. The same season, Bottega Veneta showed five, Hermès and Salvatore Ferragamo had four, and Louis Vuitton, just three. Burberry, the stingiest of all, showed one. Eight years ago, each brand showed up to three times as many. These days, the suit is considered too boring for the cameras.
