Anthony Vaccarello presented Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection at the Bourse du Commerce in Paris on Wednesday. The show, held amidst foggy conditions, featured a stripped-down aesthetic, focusing on essential elements of the YSL brand. A surprising element was the introduction of sportswear influences into the traditionally elegant designs. The collection was described as both sensual and possessing a raw edge. Vaccarello’s approach appears to be a return to foundational aspects of Yves Saint Laurent’s style, reportedly echoing a habit of the designer himself wearing t-shirts under jackets. The show received a positive reception, signaling a potential shift in direction for the iconic fashion house.
