After publishing several photo books such as Purienne and Juergen Teller, in which he pays homage to his long-standing artistic collaboration with the German photographer, Anthony Vaccarello returns once again with a new editorial project. And it is none other than Zoë Kravitz, model and muse of the House, who is at the heart of the production this time. Indeed, the entire campaign aiming to celebrate the association between the actress and the brand that has lasted for years was announced recently and already promises to be very spicy. Saint Laurent Éditions will publish a book bearing the actress's name, consisting of a hundred pages of analog photography in color and black and white captured between Paris and California. As a small bonus, the book includes a 3-minute video where the actress is depicted in the most authentic and raw manner. High heels, bare skin, close-up shots, backless dress... femininity and sensuality are the key words of this project and almost steal the show from the young American. From the warm bricks by the pool of a Hollywood villa to the cobblestones along the Seine in the French capital, the star showcases pieces signed by Vaccarello with a naturalness and nonchalance that would make anyone blush. 

But the young American, who is no longer a novice at Saint Laurent, is not alone behind the lens of Henrik Purienne, a South African photographer and director used to working with the French House. She shares the screen and the pages of the book with Jeremy Allen White, star of the series The Bear and face of the brand Calvin Klein. The third star to steal the show is none other than the clothing production conceived and realized by the House's creative director. Vaccarello proves once again with this project that he has more than one string to his bow, and shows that his attraction for the visual arts, in addition to fashion, persists. And he is quite right. Indeed, the Belgian-Italian designer does not rest, and presented at the last Cannes Film Festival not one but three feature films produced by Saint Laurent Productions, receiving applause from the audience, with some even calling him a rising star of cinema. The book, meanwhile, will be published by Saint Laurent Éditions and will be available for purchase at a price of €120 at Saint Laurent Babylone in Paris, at Saint Laurent Rive Droite in Los Angeles, or on the official Yves Saint Laurent website, where it is already available for pre-order.
