Saint Laurent's Men's Summer 2026 collection, orchestrated by Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello, was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week. The collection was a study in contrasts, blending the house's signature sharp tailoring with a relaxed, summery ease.
Key looks emphasized a play on proportions, with elongated silhouettes and a focus on lightweight fabrics. The collection featured a range of pieces, from sharply tailored jackets to flowing, almost sheer shirts, all rendered in a palette of neutral tones punctuated by flashes of vibrant color.
Vaccarello's vision for the season incorporated a modern twist on classic menswear staples. The collection reflected a shift towards a more fluid approach to summer dressing, establishing new trends for the season and solidifying Saint Laurent's influence on contemporary menswear.
The show, held in the grand rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, was less a spectacle than a profound exploration of beauty and elegance. The atmosphere was further enhanced by Céleste Bourcier-Mougins’ installation “Clinamen”: white porcelain bowls floated and gently collided in a shallow circular pool of blue water. This visual poetry reflected the mood of the collection.
