Saint Laurent
Winter 2023 Ad Campaign
Nov 2023
The Saint Laurent Winter 2023 ad campaign masterfully distills the house's signature brand of cool into a series of stark, high-fashion portraits that emphasize architectural tailoring and unapologetic minimalism. Creative director Anthony Vaccarello orchestrates a visual language defined by sharpness and restraint, brought to life through the lens of photographer and director Glen Luchford. Across the editorial imagery, the aesthetic leans into a cinematic mood, utilizing studio strobe lighting to carve out form and texture against austere backdrops. Whether capturing models Awar Odhiang and Margaux Lion against a neutral cyclorama or posing them within the dim, industrial confines of a concrete parking garage, the campaign maintains a consistent narrative of uncompromising luxury. Stylist Paul Sinclaire leans into the collection's focus on structured silhouettes, utilizing oversized leather jackets and backless bodysuits that read as both timeless and modern. The collaboration between hair stylist Duffy and makeup artist Karin Westerlund ensures a sleek, cohesive look that complements the dark, moody chiaroscuro lighting. By incorporating set elements from Gideon Ponte and production support from GE Projects, the campaign elevates the commercial experience into an artful exploration of shadow and light. This project serves as a definitive statement in the luxury fashion houses sector, effectively bridging the gap between raw editorial portraiture and high-end commercial imagery with calculated, atmospheric precision.
