For the Saint Laurent Summer 2020 collection, Anthony Vaccarello envisions the spirit of Rive Gauche and its elegant masculine-feminine tailoring.

Graphic variations of the caban paired with shorts and high boots graze the knees. Long fluid dresses, burnished gold embroideries from the Seventies precede a symphony of elaborate black tuxedos. Smoky chiffon or asphalt-like shine.

A sharp take on Saint Laurent classics devised to strengthen individuality.

Past and present are layered together to create a timeless silhouette, an imaginary voyage.

«It’s a Rive Gauche way of seeing clothes, a combination of the most iconic codes. Saint Laurent is as much about attitude as it is spectacle» Anthony Vaccarello

“This Fall/Winter 2020, we were inspired by Francesca DiMattio’s sculptures. Her work imbues the decorative with strength and power.

Wedding-dress beads and basket weaving, often dismissed as mere decorations, transform into imposing structures, blurring what’s man-woman, old-new, high-low. 

DiMattio challenges the traditional norms of femininity. I remembered from studying art history how the work of Judith Leyster, one of the great Dutch Masters, was misattributed after her death

simply because she was a woman. It’s a struggle that women artists have faced throughout history and still do to this day.” –  Tory Burch

“Each look tells its own story. The connection between the clothes is the time it took to make them.

I love the idea of people having the time to make things together, the time to meet and talk together, the time to reconnect with the world.”

It’s a reflection of my vision of modern femininity, we wanted to create something that has a sense of ease and choice, that women can wear with confidence and happiness.”- Kristina Fidelskaya
