Anthony Vaccarello’s latest collection for Saint Laurent, “Women’s Summer 25,” is a testament to the brand’s enduring legacy of celebrating the complex and multifaceted woman. The collection, inspired by the iconic Yves Saint Laurent, delves into the darker penchants and rebellious spirit that define the modern Saint Laurent woman.
Vaccarello’s designs capture the essence of Saint Laurent’s timeless appeal, blending artful sophistication with instinctual desire. The collection showcases a range of styles, from fluid suits and jackets reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent’s personal wardrobe to opulent skirt-dominated ensembles inspired by the vibrant colors and patterns of the artist’s favorite paintings.
One of the most striking elements of the collection is the homage to the women who have embodied the Saint Laurent spirit over the years. Each look is named after a model who has played a significant role in the brand’s history, celebrating their diverse personalities and unique contributions to the Saint Laurent universe.
Bella Hadid’s triumphant return
The runway show was further electrified by the return of supermodel Bella Hadid, making her highly anticipated comeback after a two-year hiatus. Hadid’s grace and charisma on the catwalk were undeniable, as she commanded attention in a sharp black Saint Laurent suit, teamed with a pair of square frames glasses. Her dominance on the runway is undeniable and so is her star power in fashion — further cementing her status as one of the industry’s most sought-after models.

The show’s backdrop is as captivating as the designs themselves. A dark linear volume is inserted into a historic courtyard, creating a dramatic and intimate atmosphere. An oval oculus reveals the night sky, adding a touch of mystery and romance. A tall golden frieze envelops the space in a warm glow, while the distinctive blue floor pays homage to Yves Saint Laurent’s famous gardens in Marrakech.
Vaccarello’s “Women’s Summer 25” collection is more than just a fashion show; it is a celebration of female empowerment, individuality, and the enduring allure of Saint Laurent. By drawing inspiration from the brand’s rich heritage and the modern woman’s rebellious spirit, Vaccarello has created a collection that is both timeless and contemporary.
