A Setting of Drama and Elegance
Anthony Vaccarello transformed Paris Fashion Week into a cinematic experience with his latest Saint Laurent collection. Set against a backdrop of towering marble columns on the esplanade of the Eiffel Tower, the show carried an aura of monumental drama. Models emerged through a smoky haze, their silhouettes sharp against the iconic Parisian night sky.
A Dialogue Between Past and Present
Vaccarello drew inspiration from Yves Saint Laurent’s archives, reinterpreting the house’s signatures through a modern lens. Structured blazers, sheer blouses, and sharply tailored trousers highlighted the designer’s precise hand. The collection balanced masculine and feminine codes — a hallmark of Saint Laurent’s legacy — while infusing contemporary minimalism.
Fabric and Form
Translucent silks and flowing chiffons contrasted with dense wool and leather, creating a dialogue of textures. Long capes, cinched waists, and extended shoulders amplified the theatrical quality of the presentation. Each look reflected Vaccarello’s fascination with proportion, exaggeration, and timeless sensuality.
Star-Studded Front Row
The show drew an elite crowd, including Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and other international celebrities. Their presence reinforced Saint Laurent’s role as a cultural force that extends far beyond the runway.
A Statement Beyond Fashion
Vaccarello’s collection was not only about clothes — it was a performance about power, presence, and allure. By merging Yves Saint Laurent’s heritage with his own architectural approach, Vaccarello reaffirmed the house’s enduring influence on global style.
