For Summer 2026, Anthony Vaccarello presents a Saint Laurent collection where aesthetics speak louder than words – serving as a language of connection, nuance, and quiet resistance. The show blurs the boundaries between fashion, art, and identity, asserting that clothing is both visual and symbolic. In fact, Saint Laurent’s Summer 2026 is not just about what women wear – it’s about how they exist, resist, and redefine beauty.

In an era where dialogue fades, the collection becomes a form of visual discourse. Set in a cinematic atmosphere, the Saint Laurent woman emerges as both heroine and classic figure – singular, yet multifaceted. She moves through contrasting worlds: leather-clad princesses inspired by Mapplethorpe, adorned with crown jewels; powerful women in flowing Rive Gauche silhouettes; and modern-day descendants of “Madame X” who exchange silks for technical textiles. What started as a black and white collection – with brown breaks – ended on a very colorful note. With orange, blue, yellow, purple and others joining the show, the collection took a new turn.
