Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2026: Sharp Tailoring Meets Sheer Sensuality

Saint Laurent presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection in Paris with a focus on precise cuts, structured shapes, and lightweight materials. Creative director Anthony Vaccarello opened the show with designs that carried the brand’s established style codes.

The show opened with a set of dark-toned looks in shades of brown and black, combining leather pieces with structured jackets and crisp shirting. Models walked out in fitted skirts paired with jackets that carried exaggerated shoulders and boxy cuts. Some were styled with white shirts tied at the neck, while others came in zipped high style. Dark sunglasses were seen in some of the looks.

Later on, the presentation shifted toward sheerness. Models appeared in translucent blouses and floor-length skirts that revealed lingerie underneath. Black remained dominant throughout, with occasional injections of white and neutrals.

One of the standout looks included a see-through chiffon top, styled under an oversized blazer with sharp lapels. Another highlighted a strapless dress constructed from sheer black fabric, cut to graze the ankles and paired with leather opera gloves.

Leather were mostly seen on the runway too: skirts and belted jackets all in glossy leather. Knee-high boots were often layered under skirts or styled with thigh-high slits, highlighting the elongated shape that has become one of Vaccarello’s signatures.

Flowy gowns were given architectural shoulders or sculptural draping, often finished in sheer silk. A notable piece was a halter dress cut in a liquid-like metallic fabric, nodding to Saint Laurent’s tradition of glamour while still aligning with Vaccarello’s stripped-down approach.

Accessories stayed minimal but noticeable. Wide leather belts gave shape to jackets and dresses, emphasizing the hourglass figure. Oversized sunglasses and slim clutches complemented the dark, refined mood.

The collection emphasized its contrasts, pairing structure with light fabrics, the designs were distinctly Saint Laurent yet varied across the lineup. For Spring/Summer 2026, Vaccarello presented a clear take on the brand’s core identity.
