Anthony Vaccarello Marks a Decade at Saint Laurent with Autumn/Winter 2026 Show and AnOther Magazine Interview
Anthony Vaccarello marks a decade as creative director of Saint Laurent with his womenswear show for Autumn/Winter 2026, set in a replica of the rue de Babylone residence once shared by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. The collection showcases jewel-toned lace coated in silicone, drawing inspiration from pieces featured in a 2009 Christie's auction. In an interview with Alexander Fury for AnOther Magazine's Autumn/Winter 2026 edition, Vaccarello reflects on his interpretation of the brand's heritage and his unique outsider viewpoint. He also emphasizes the role of Saint Laurent Productions, founded in 2023, which has backed projects by filmmakers such as Pedro Almodóvar and co-produced Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez (2024), a contender for 13 Academy Awards. This issue, celebrating AnOther Magazine's 25th anniversary, will be available starting 17 September 2026.
