Rosé, Liu Wen and Connor Storrie enter Talia Chetrit’s instinctive vision of the Saint Laurent Fall 26 collection

There are fashion campaigns that announce a collection, and there are those that create a world around it. For Fall 26, Saint Laurent continues to explore the space between attitude and elegance, bringing together three distinctive personalities Rosé, Liu Wen and Connor Storrie under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello.

Photographed by Talia Chetrit, the latest chapter of the Saint Laurent Fall 26 campaign is built around contrast. The house describes the imagery as a study of contrasts, a language that feels particularly natural to Vaccarello’s approach to Saint Laurent: precise yet sensual, polished yet instinctive, controlled yet never entirely predictable.

Rather than treating the campaign as a simple presentation of clothes, the images allow attitude, silhouette and texture to become part of the story. Chetrit’s photography brings an instinctive quality to the collection, placing the personalities of the three talents at the centre of the visual narrative.

Rosé brings her unmistakable presence to the campaign, while Liu Wen introduces the authority and sophistication of an established fashion figure. Connor Storrie completes the trio, creating a dialogue between different generations, disciplines and forms of contemporary cultural visibility. Together, they give Fall 26 a distinctly modern identity without diluting the codes of the Saint Laurent house.

The collection itself is expressed through a vocabulary of contrasts. Saint Laurent’s official presentation highlights nocturnal lace, brocade, electric colour and sculptural silhouettes, while the campaign moves between tailoring, leather and layered forms. These opposing elements are not presented as contradictions to be resolved; instead, they coexist, creating the tension that gives the Fall 26 imagery its character.

This tension is central to Anthony Vaccarello’s creative direction at Saint Laurent. The Fall 26 campaign does not rely on a single visual idea. It allows different textures, proportions and personalities to occupy the same frame, making the collection feel less like a fixed statement and more like a conversation between opposing moods.

Talia Chetrit’s role is essential to that atmosphere. Known for an approach that can feel immediate and unconventional, she photographs the Saint Laurent Fall 26 cast without reducing them to conventional campaign archetypes. The result is imagery in which the clothes and the people wearing them remain closely connected. The silhouette is important, but so is the gesture, the presence and the space between the subjects.

The official Saint Laurent Fall 26 campaign pages present the collection under the direction of Anthony Vaccarello and photographed by Talia Chetrit, with dedicated women’s and men’s Fall 26 presentations. The house also highlights ready-to-wear alongside handbags, shoes, jewellery and accessories, underlining the breadth of the season’s visual universe.

For Saint Laurent, Fall 26 therefore becomes more than a seasonal wardrobe. It is an exercise in visual tension between softness and structure, darkness and colour, restraint and sensuality. The campaign’s strength lies precisely in allowing these elements to remain together.

With Rosé, Liu Wen and Connor Storrie as its central talents, and Talia Chetrit behind the camera, the latest Saint Laurent Fall 26 chapter captures Anthony Vaccarello’s vision through a series of contrasts rather than a single definition of glamour.

And perhaps that is where the campaign feels most contemporary: it does not ask Saint Laurent to choose between opposites. It allows them to exist simultaneously.
