In lieu of choosing a specific embodiment of the Saint Laurent woman, for the house’s winter 2023 collection, Anthony Vaccarello distilled the essence of classic Saint Laurent style – a potent mix of precision, emotion and reticence and combined it with his own codes for a severely reconfigured take, reflective of the current moment, on a familiar aesthetic : the tailleur-jupe.

The precision can be found in the sharp shoulder line of a bold new blazer. It all starts with this gesture, fabric dictates the rest. Creating enticing friction, the structured jacket is juxtaposed with a flowing layer of cloth, a signature scarf that may merge with the bow of a blouse or extend down like a stole.
