An exclusive look at Saint Laurent’s liberating take on high-octane, ’60s-inspired glamour this season

2021 show epitomised creative director Anthony Vaccarello’s liberating take on highoctane, ’60s-inspired glamour: lean, mean jackets made out of comfy jersey; tailoring paired with bike shorts; the introduction of the low-heeled Blade slingbacks made sexy with metal toe caps. Here, an exclusive look at this breathtakingly chic women’s march.

“I WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE ESSENCE OF THINGS. I THINK DOING SO IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES, BUT I DIDN’T WANT ANYTHING BLEAK OR HEAVY. THE DESERT TO ME SYMBOLISES THAT YEARNING FOR SERENITY, OPEN SPACE, A SLOWER RHYTHM. THE CLOTHES ARE ALSO SOFTER; THE SPIRIT OF THE COLLECTION IS MORE GENTLE, STRIPPED BACK.”

– ANTHONY VACCARELLO, CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF SAINT LAURENT
