After a decade at Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello is leaving his role as creative director, marking the end of one of the most influential tenures in contemporary luxury fashion. During his time at the house, Vaccarello helped strengthen Saint Laurent’s identity, combining sharp tailoring, sensual glamour, and cinematic storytelling while playing a major role in expanding the brand’s cultural and commercial influence. His final Spring-Summer 2027 show in Paris was widely interpreted as a farewell, featuring a highly personal collection and emotional atmosphere marked by an array of all gold looks.
Announcing his departure, Luca de Meo, CEO of Kering, said: “Through his creative vision and exacting standards, he has contributed to strengthening the enduring influence of one of France’s greatest couture Houses, as we embark on a new chapter in its history.”
Saint Laurent has confirmed that new creative leadership will be announced soon, marking the beginning of the house’s next era. In honour of Vaccarello, explore some of our favourite looks from his first and final collection for the French house.
