STORRIE STEPS INTO THE FOG AS SAINT LAURENT REWINDS THE TAPE

ScreenshotAnthony Vaccarello has released a new chapter of Saint Laurent imagery and the internet answered within hours. The reel, posted to the designer’s own account and captioned as an invitation to step into the fog, has drawn more than 1,200 reposts and 700 comments, with Linda Evangelista among those approving. @anthonyvaccarello @ysl @connorstorrieofficial @liuwenlw @taliachetrit @roses_are_rosie

At its centre is Connor Storrie, the Heated Rivalry actor who became a Saint Laurent ambassador this year and has since carried the house through the Golden Globes, the Actor Awards and a Met Gala debut in May. Here he appears in wraparound shields, curls loose, collar raised, shot through a wash of grey by the American photographer Talia Chetrit.

Chetrit is the thread. Her Fall 26 work for the house with Austin Butler traded spectacle for observation: modernist interiors, furniture still sheathed in plastic, a stillness that read as wealth without warmth. The new frames push that mood colder and more nocturnal.

The nostalgia is deliberate. The shield lens, the tumbling curls and the black leather carry the unmistakable charge of late Eighties pop, the Milli Vanilli era of manufactured glamour, when the image travelled faster than the sound. Vaccarello has always understood that Saint Laurent sells attitude before cloth. Setting Storrie alongside Liu Wen and Rosé is a calculated collision of supermodel authority and modern fandom.

Whether the reference is affectionate or arch, it is working.
