Wish you were here: Saint Laurent Summer 21

Off the traditional calendar, the presentation of the new Saint Laurent Summer 21 collection was inspired by the spirit of the 60s and dedicated to freedom of movement.

In the film, directed by Natalie Kangil, slender, long-legged silhouettes zigzag alone across endless sand dunes in heels to the soundtrack of SebastiAn. Somewhere in the distance, where the sky meets the ground on the horizon, the YSL logo is deeply embossed in the sand.

Such a remote and deserted place of the show is inspired not only by the time that we are forced to live at a socially safe distance, but also refers to the native and beloved places of the founder of the fashion house, unsurpassed couturier, fashion revolutionary Yves Saint Laurent. Algeria and Morocco is the country where he was born, and the country he loved very much and considered his place of power.

The collection is described by comfort, ease and sex appeal. A relaxed bottom, in the form of silk micro shorts with lace and a high rise, a reference to the lingerie aesthetics of the 60s and our zoom calls of reality, and a more dressy top - an image that blurs the lines between home, day and evening dress code.

Beneath the black jacket, a gold metal sconce stands out, referring to the famous collaboration of Yves Saint Laurent with the French sculptor Claude Lalanne, who created the breast cast of the legendary model Veruschka.

In it, the favorite muse of the couturier Veruschka von Lehndorff confidently defiled at the YSL Haute Couture Autumn / Winter 1969 show.

The show closes with a touching message from Anthony Vaccarello to Yves Saint Laurent "I wish you were here".
