Three 15-second videos were posted in quick succession, offering the first glimpse of Vaccarello’s new vision for Saint Laurent.

The breakdown of the clips is as follows: The first features a topless female model called Dasha, the second a model called Agnes wearing what appears to be some kind of cropped black boob tube, and the third stars a shirtless, brunette male model called Mattia.

All three clips were directed by Natalie Canguilhem, a longtime collaborator of Vaccarello’s who has worked with him on both his namesake line and Versus Versace in the past. The house also released two still images, taken by American photographer, Collier Schorr.

Each video and image presents a considerably less grungey vision of Saint Laurent than Hedi did, but the monochromatic grey scale and makeup-free models isn’t exactly a major departure of the aesthetic that came before it either.
