NO MATTER HOW LONG THE NIGHT IS

SAINT LAURENT
MEN’S SPRING SUMMER 21 BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO

Breathing, reaching the horizon, looking at the future, no matter how long the night is.
Over the skies and the architectures of Paris, New York, and Beijing, a constant attraction redefies gravity.

The video unveils Anthony Vaccarello’s collection, the inspirations, materials, forms, bright and dark colors, naturally blending different worlds.

The Saint Laurent Men’s Spring Summer 2021 Project curated by Anthony Vaccarello, is a unique virtual and physical experience, bringing together videos, augmented reality, 3D lenticular imagery, music playlist, street posters, hidden stickers, photo walls, flags, and more; all connecting the places from around the world, digitally to physically.

A perpetual and simultaneous game of echoes creates an impossible dialogue between imagination and reality. An unconscious desire.

SAINT LAURENT Men's SS20

SAINT LAURENT_MENS_SS20_BACKSTAGE_19_HR.jpg

Last June, Anthony Vaccarello chose Los Angeles to present his new Saint Laurent menswear collection, envisioning the city as the latest Marrakesh. Walking on a sandy beach in Malibu, the Saint Laurent man exudes the free spirit inspired by the irreverent allure of Mick Jagger and the Parisian nonchalance of Serge Gainsbourg.


Details and colors captured from the mythic 1975 concert tour of the Stones build the ultimate, timeless bohemian attitude.

‘It started after meeting Mick Jagger for his upcoming tour, he showed me his wardrobe and I was particularly attracted by the details, the colors, the attitude.’

SAINT LAURENT SELF 05 BY WONG KAR WAI

SAINT-LAURENT__SELF05_HR_02.jpg

Saint Laurent SELF 05, ‘A night in Shanghai’, curated by Chinese artist Wong Kar Wai and directed by Wing Shya, marks the fifth chapter of the project, following Daido Moriyama, Vanessa Beecroft, Bret Easton Ellis and Gaspar Noé. The intention of the project is to capture different aspects of the Saint Laurent personality, underlining the complexity of various individuals through the eyes of artists selected by Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent creative director. SELF represents the self-expression and conveys many different facets of the Saint Laurent attitude.

‘A night in Shanghai’ is a story about the introspective research of our-self, which starts from breaking the balance. Ju Xiaowen is walking on the wire, trying to find the balance in real life by comparing the past and the present, sharply contrasting. Looking for who she is and moved by the desire to express herself.

‘Saint Laurent is unique, distinctive among high fashion. Anthony loves art and his designs worn gorgeously, and stays independent. Saint Laurent is always about ‘breaking the balance’ in this era, like no one else, the brand is brave in expressing itself.’ Wong Kar Wai

‘Wong Kar Wai envisions individual feelings; his art is like a vivid dream projected into real life, which emphasizes the contrast between the fragile aspect of humanity and reality. It was a very instinctive process based on mutual respect and admiration, in the movie you can find and feel the Saint Laurent fantasy taking shape as natural consequence.’
Anthony Vaccarello

The traditional feeling of Shanghai meets the contemporary Saint Laurent, creating a subtle chemistry, as much as the modern skyline of the city blends with the iconic spirit of the brand.

The short movie will be exclusively presented in an immersive screen-installation at Yuz Museum in Shanghai art district, accessible to public from the 22nd until the 24th of November.

// ROCK’N’ROLL HEDONISM AT SAINT LAURENT - Men's SS20 //

Anthony Vaccarello was in a sensual and seductive mood with the menswear show he unveiled in Los Angeles last night for the iconic House of Saint Laurent.

There are, in fact, several connections between the brand, Vaccarello himself and the city’s spirit, which brings bohemian nonchalance to mind. The Belgian has been traveling to California on many occasions since his teenage years, and he used a striking beach backdrop to showcase his precise vision of the Saint Laurent man.

Referencing Mick Jagger’s androgynous silhouette and his provocative style in the early 70s, the collection focused on glamorous tailoring, which was sharp but often embellished to give it a fresh and precious feel. While black dominated the color palette, shine and transparency were key within the show, keeping the simplest looks enticing. A double-breasted glitter pinstripe suit looked chic and effortless, while sheer caftans, harem pants and burnoose capes recalled Saint Laurent’s heady Marrakesh period, which was filled with laughter, parties and sumptuous decadence.

The strength of Vaccarello is to take that vision and bring it into modernity. Jackets were paired with tight, cut-off denim shorts, while bombers were covered in sequins, but worn with simple sneakers. A black shrunken waistcoat -embroidered with black beads- was styled over a crystal embellished satin shirt and paired with black skinny jeans. Mingling with the press after the show, Vaccarello confessed he had tried every single piece on and that he couldn’t wait to wear most of it. Now, that’s always a good sign.

// SAINT LAURENT / SELF03 BRET EASTON ELLIS //

From self, personality, to Saint Laurent.

Capture d’écran 2019-04-25 à 16.19.03.png

The intention of the project is to capture different aspects of the Saint Laurent personality, underlining the complexity of various individuals through the eyes of artists selected by Anthony Vaccarello. It represents the freedom of self-expression and conveys many different facets of the Saint Laurent attitude.

Creative disciplines across art and fashion reinforce and fuel the concept of diversity and individuality.

Self is formed by a heady mixture of attraction, ambivalence and mystery generated by photographers, artists, and filmmakers.

Bret Easton Ellis is the third artist whom Saint Laurent worked with for this project, following Daido Moriyama and Vanessa Beecroft.

The video curated by Anthony Vaccarello will be digitally disclosed in parallel with Tribeca Film Festival, taking place in New York from April 24th to May 5th.

Directed by #Bret Easton Ellis “The Arrangement” captures jealousy and obsession. A utopia is still a possibility, and the purity of love is still an option. The short movie is exploring this idea by juxtaposing the elegance of the characters world with the turmoil and dreamy confusion they are experiencing.
