Luxury house Saint Laurent unveiled its Spring 2026 campaign featuring pop superstar Charli XCX. In charge of art direction was Anthony Vaccarello, with photography and video from Glen Luchford. The imagery uses CCTV-style frames and digital grain that create a sharp, fragmented tone for the season.
Charli XCX appears throughout the campaign that plays on opposites in looks that present the core pieces of the Spring 26 collection. She wears a color-blocked track top with a barely-there pleated skirt, a graphic technical nylon windbreaker, and carries the quilted Icarino bag.
The Saint Laurent Spring Summer 2026 collection builds its structure around sharp tailoring and strong shoulders. Leather jackets, fitted coats, and trench-inspired shapes form the collection’s core. Clean lines guide the silhouette, while defined proportions keep attention on construction and material quality.
Vaccarello introduces contrast through lighter elements that offset the weight of the leather and outerwear. Sheer fabrics, nylon pieces, and fluid dresses create a shift in texture that broadens the season’s range. These pieces add length, softness, and transparency, forming a counterpoint to the more structured garments.
Eveningwear extends the collection’s pared-back direction with gowns shaped through long, continuous lines. Sheer fabrics, dark palettes, and controlled volume guide the silhouettes, giving them a slower and heavier pace than the sharper daytime looks. The focus stays on structure, with sleeves, draping, and length defining the overall form.
