Saint Laurent

Mar 2026

The Saint Laurent Summer 26 campaign, envisioned by designer Anthony Vaccarello, marks a masterclass in modern luxury fashion house aesthetics, stripping back the noise to focus on the raw intersection of form and texture. Through the lens of photographers Ava Van Osdol and Mark Kean, the collection is brought to life with a sharp, uncompromising clarity. This editorial series leans into a high-fashion narrative, utilizing studio strobe lighting to emphasize the crinkled, reflective surfaces of the collection’s technical nylon pieces. The imagery celebrates a sculptural approach to silhouette, as seen in the voluminous, gathered puffy sleeves and cinched waistlines that define the season. With the vision further refined by the casting direction of Samuel Ellis Scheinman, the campaign showcases a diverse ensemble including Anok Yai, Mica Argañaraz, Tara Falla, and Anasofia Negrutsa. Every frame is elevated by the intricate hair styling of Duffy and the precise, dramatic makeup applications by Pat McGrath, which ground the high-gloss fashion elements in an intimate, human portraiture style. By stripping away extraneous artifice, the project allows the inherent elegance of Saint Laurent to resonate, creating a timeless visual language that feels both immediate and enduring in the competitive landscape of contemporary high-end luxury, setting a distinct tone for the upcoming season through intentional creative minimalism.
