SAINT LAURENT AND THE TRUE ART OF DETAILS: SPRING MEN’S FASHION WEEK 2026
Select Ishtar
Anthony Vaccarello
The classic Saint Laurent reinvents itself in this Spring collection at Men's Fashion Week. We've seen a slow and beautiful journey toward including new colors in Anthony Vaccarello's palette, and with the premise of a much more open and illuminated landscape, we instantly knew we were witnessing something special: a fusion of classic style, a focus on details, and an introduction of color that truly stands out in daylight.
Before we start, yes, we all saw the ties. The most characteristic element of this runway in terms of styling, hidden between each button inside the shirts of this collection, it explains how Saint Laurent can reinvent the classic and inject a sophisticated and edgy je ne sais quoithat keeps each presentation distinctive and true to its roots.
Anthony Vaccarello's intention is to keep the classics of a lost generation from 1976 relevant, based on the film "Fire Island." Those vibrant desires are translated into textiles with transparencies, silks, and leathers. Their reflection with natural light exudes a sense of fluidity that perfectly combines with solid earth-toned pants and Bermuda shorts, creating a focal point in each ensemble.
The styling choices make Saint Laurent an exquisite vision of current men's fashion. Belts defining pant waistlines in an outflowing shape, the combination of similar tones creating a monochromatic illusion, and, conversely, with olive, earth, and purple tones already recognized in their "Ready-to-Wear Fall 2025" collection, fulfill our dream of seeing them on prominent shoulders and fitted waists.
Rosy tones are introduced, pushing the boundaries of bright colors. We feel transported to the 70s with sports jackets over shirts and ties in similar hues. It's a small taste of risk that Saint Laurent is willing to take, all perfectly tailored to the models' bodies, always enhancing the male anatomy.
Do you like the style? Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello is the brand you'll see referenced in future editorials and on red carpets. The way they innovate, using classic elements, is a delight, and at Paris Fashion Week 2026, they continue their streak of sophisticated and tasteful presentations.
