IT’S CHARLI, BABY: SAINT LAURENT SPRING 2026 BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO

words by PHOEBE GIBSON-DOUGALL

Calling all angels! Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello has released the first chapter of its Spring 2026 campaign featuring Charli XCX. Conceived by Anthony Vaccarello and shot by Glen Luchford, XCX is captured through the lens of CCTV-like fragments. Soundtracked by Depeche Mode, and with the Parisian skyline blinking in the background, it’s cinematic and sensual.

The campaign plays on opposites, with pieces from the collection combined to heighten contrast. Picture athletic pieces and lacy lingerie details, or a graphic windbreaker and quilted Icarino bag.

After spotting Charli front row at Saint Laurent’s September show, it’s exciting to see the star front a campaign for the brand. Her creative touch rarely misses, and unsurprisingly her presence here brings Vacarello’s vision to life.
