Anthony Vaccarello

Anthony Vaccarello is the creative director of the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). He is currently newsworthy because YSL recently celebrated its 60th anniversary with a fashion show in Paris. Vaccarello marked his own 10th anniversary in the role by reinterpreting YSL's iconic 'Le Smoking' suit. The suit, originally designed by Yves Saint Laurent in 1966, was created for men but adapted for women, becoming a symbol of the brand. The return of 'Le Smoking' to the Paris catwalk highlights Vaccarello's role in honoring the brand's heritage while contributing to contemporary fashion. His work connects YSL's history with modern trends, maintaining the brand's relevance in the high fashion industry and its influence on art and cinema.
