A sunny summer is far too cliché. In what seems to be a lesson in French aloofness (Google Translate says “l’attitude distant”), the world of Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent is captured by the lens of legendary Juergen Teller for the brand’s Summer 2019 campaign. The sight of glitzy glamour of Côte d’Azur is no more, as a sense of realistic gloom and fantastically chic glamazons take over. Mica Arganaraz and Freja Beha Erichsen play the role of this new aristocrats, unafraid of their sexiness and ready to disrobe themselves for the sake of looking fabulous. Actually, these women look totally in control of their sexuality, flaunting their high-cut/low-cut swimsuits and criminally attractive see-through nylons with YSL monogrammed on their ankle. Is this the best take on a permanent tattoo we’ve ever seen? Probably.
And yes, perhaps we can’t get ourselves their endlessly long gams or their high-to-the-sky cheekbones. Actually, we might be able to but that would be too much trouble. What is much more accessible and way less painful is this erotic sensibility that concerns Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent. Our 2019 resolutions just got sexy, sexy, sexier.
