Review of Saint Laurent Fall 2026 Ad Campaign by Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello and Photographer Talia Chetrit with models Rosé, Liu Wen, and Connor Storrie

Saint Laurent moves indoors for the final chapter of its Fall 2026 campaign, with Anthony Vaccarello and photographer Talia Chetrit turning a stark modernist interior into a quietly charged stage for Rosé, Liu Wen, and Connor Storrie. Rather than relying on an overt narrative, the campaign builds its atmosphere through space, posture, and contrast, allowing the collection’s tensions between restraint and sensuality to emerge almost incidentally.

Chetrit’s photography brings an intriguing domestic intimacy to Vaccarello’s typically nocturnal world. The setting is expansive yet strangely austere: white tiled floors, mirrored walls, industrial kitchens, broad windows, and severe expanses of charcoal carpeting. Against these controlled architectural surfaces, small interventions of color—a cobalt vase, red flowers, scattered arrangements of yellow blooms—feel almost unnaturally vivid. The interiors have the polished precision of a gallery, but the models inhabit them with a languor that disrupts that perfection.

That tension is particularly effective in the portraits. Rosé appears alternately poised and relaxed, her lace, brocade, tweed, and acid-yellow pieces standing in sharp relief against the pale architecture. Liu Wen brings a cooler severity to the imagery, whether reclining against a window overlooking the city or framed frontally within the house’s rigid geometry. Storrie, meanwhile, shifts between tightly composed tailoring and a more undone sensuality, at one point lying shirtless across the dark carpet as though the immaculate environment has temporarily exhausted him. Together, the casting creates distinct characters without forcing them into a conventional story.

The clothes thrive within this push and pull. Vaccarello’s tailoring provides the campaign with its structural backbone, while lace, metallic surfaces, brocade, leather, sheer hosiery, and flashes of saturated color introduce a more decadent register. Chetrit frequently photographs the body in relation to the architecture—reclining across horizontal planes, standing beneath curving staircases, or isolated within vast fields of floor—which makes the silhouettes feel both commanding and strangely vulnerable. Even the accessories are integrated with restraint, appearing as extensions of the styling rather than isolated product moments.

There is something deliberately unresolved about the campaign, and that ambiguity is its strength. The pristine interiors could suggest luxury, isolation, desire, or simply the strange stillness of being alone in an impossibly beautiful space. Chetrit avoids smoothing those contradictions into conventional glamour, instead letting awkward angles, empty space, and relaxed gestures rub against Saint Laurent’s polished sensuality. The result feels recognizably Vaccarello while opening a slightly less familiar door: Saint Laurent after hours, perhaps, but this time the party seems to have happened somewhere else.
