Your First Look At Saint Laurent By Anthony Vaccarello Is Here
A new era is coming
It’s been two months since Saint Laurent named Anthony Vaccarello as its new Creative Director, following the exit of Hedi Slimane. And now, Mr Vaccarello’s first campaign images have been teased.
The black and white images, which were lensed by Collier Schorr, were released over the weekend, but give away very little of what is to come. A series of teaser videos, shot by Natalie Canguilhem, also appeared on the brand’s Instagram account (fun fact: they’re now the only things on the Instagram page after it was wiped clean of all references to Hedi’s work earlier this year #awks) briefly introducing the new faces of the campaign – Dasha, Agnes and Mattia.
Many of Hedi’s loyalists took to Instagram to share their thoughts on the new direction, and responses were mixed. Though seeing as the only piece of clothing we can see in the clips is a single black tube top, we think it’s a little too soon to judge. Hedi left some huge shoes to fill, but we have a feeling Anthony, and his signature brand of sexy, is going to do just fine. – Maddison Glendinning
