Saint Laurent presents the SS21 collection "Wish you were here" With a stunning fashion video shot in the desert

A stunning set, distant, free, solitary, ancestral, that seems almost out of time. For the SS21 collection of Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello opted for the North African desert, a place that has always been linked to the Maison. Not far from here, in Algeria, Monsieur Yves was born, while in Morocco, in Marrakech, he built a marvelous villa and took inspiration for many of his revolutionary creations. 

I wanted to focus on the essence of things, but I didn’t want anything bleak or heavy. – Said Vaccarello - The desert, to me, symbolizes that yearn for serenity, open space, a slower rhythm. The clothes are also softer, the spirit of the collection is more gentle, stripped back.

The images of the fashion video shot by Natalie Canguilhem follow the steps of the models who, climbing on very high heels and boots, walk fierce and beautiful through the dunes, accompanied only by the whipping of the wind and the YSL logo embossed on the sand. While Mica Argañaraz and the other tops alternate, the sun slowly turns to night, illuminated only by a line made of flames, it seems to take an aesthetic journey starting from the Swingin' Sixties and arriving to the summer of 2021.
