Anthony Vaccarello is concluding his ten-year tenure as the creative director of Saint Laurent. Following his recognition as the CFDA ‘International Designer of the Year’ in September 2026, Vaccarello presented his final spring/summer 2027 collection during Paris Fashion Week. The gold-themed presentation, held at the Trocadero fountain, featured 59 looks and was described by observers as “cinematic, almost elegiac,” serving as a stylistic reinterpretation of the house’s legacy. On October 9, 2026, Saint Laurent officially announced that Vaccarello is stepping down. Kering, the parent luxury group, credited Vaccarello with a fundamental role in strengthening the brand’s identity and cultural influence. During his leadership, which began in 2016, Saint Laurent experienced significant commercial growth, with revenues rising from approximately €1.22 billion in 2016 to €2.64 billion in 2025. The brand remains a vital component of the Kering group, accounting for roughly one-fifth of its sales and one-third of its profits. Beyond fashion, Vaccarello expanded the brand’s footprint through Saint Laurent Productions in film and Saint Laurent Editions in the arts. Kering CEO Luca de Meo and Saint Laurent President and CEO Cedric Charbit expressed gratitude for his creative vision and dedication. The company clarified that the decision to transition leadership is based on “long-term strategic goals” and is not linked to recent financial performance. His departure occurs amid a broader period of leadership changes across several major luxury brands, including Dior, Chanel, Gucci, and Balenciaga. The fashion house stated that it will announce new creative leadership in the near future.
