At Saint Laurent, aesthetics are a language. They reach beyond the surface to express a way of seeing the world, crossing boundaries of art, society, and politics.
In a time when dialogue is fading, style becomes a form of discourse - not one that imposes, but one that connects and adds nuance. Where words divide, the Saint Laurent aesthetic creates space to breathe and invent new analogies.
Anthony Vaccarello's Summer 2026 collection embodies this vision. In a cinematic atmosphere, the Saint Laurent woman is both heroine and classic, singular and multifaceted.
She moves through contrasting worlds: black leather-clad princesses à la Mapplethorpe, adorned with crown jewels; enigmatic women asserting their power in Rive Gauche silhouettes, with flowing fabrics and bold colors; while descendants of the Duchess of Guermantes or John Singer Sargent's famed "Madame X" trade their silks for technical textiles. This show asserts that clothing is both a visual and symbolic argument. Beauty is plural. Aesthetics become a language of resistance, respect, and inclusion.
