[LOOK] Saint Laurent presents its Summer 2026 women's collection. Anthony Vaccarello's timeless "language of aesthetics"

Oct 9, 2025
Saint Laurent's Summer 2026 women's collection, presented in Paris in September 2025, was a show by Artistic Director Anthony Vaccarello that quietly redefined the brand's core principle: "aesthetics is a language."

Aesthetics Speak: A Dialogue Beyond Words
The starting point for this collection was the idea that "style is a means of dialogue." In an era of increasing division and where language sometimes creates sharp boundaries, Vaccarello presented fashion as "room to breathe." A silent language for connecting with others and generating empathy. At Saint Laurent, aesthetics are reborn as a means of speaking not merely of decoration, but of a state of being.

Strength in Contrasts: A Fusion of Classic and Modern
On a stage of cinematic light and shadow, the Saint Laurent woman, classic yet rebellious, appeared. Clad in black leather, they exude the elegance of a crown jewel. Flowing fabrics, structured shoulder lines, and earth-toned colors effortlessly straddle the boundaries between strength and softness. The collection reflects the image of a modern woman, free-spirited and living in the spirit of the Rive Gauche.

Inheriting History, Renewing with Technology
Classical paintings of women, such as the Duchess of Guermantes and John Singer Sargent's masterpiece "Madame X," also served as inspiration for this collection. However, the women are no longer dressed in silk, but in modern technical fabrics. The updated materials also redefine the image of woman. Both a nod to the past and a challenge to the present are powerfully present in this collection.

Aesthetics: The Language of Resistance
Saint Laurent's "aesthetics" is resistance, respect, and inclusivity itself. Dialogue with society through fashion and an affirmation of diversity in beauty are at the core of Vaccarello's creations. The clothes themselves speak beyond words. The Summer 2026 collection conveyed exactly this "silent message."


Saint Laurent under Anthony Vaccarello has always exuded a quiet strength. It is not a loud statement, but a will hidden deep within silence. He is certainly reclaiming the language in which fashion speaks.
