Saint Laurent’s Respiro summer 2026 campaign captures everything a French Riviera summer is supposed to feel like. Under Anthony Vaccarello’s creative direction, the house travels to the South of France for a sun-soaked story built on light, heat, and salt air.
Photographer Henrik Purienne shoots the campaign along the Mediterranean coast and inside Jean Cocteau’s Villa Santo Sospir. Atmosphere carries the story. Skin catches saltwater, rocks throw long shadows, and the clothes look built for trouble after golden hour.

Models Loli Bahia, Mona Tougaard, Jenn Du Puy, and Vittoria Ceretti move through it all with ease. The YSL clothes stay unmistakably Saint Laurent. A sheer blush blouse floats over swimwear, layered necklaces and a chain belt catching the light beneath it.
Oversized jeweled earrings and clear sunglasses push the beach-glam angle further, while a black woven YSL bag and a raffia tote sit against the rocks like sculpture. Ruffled pieces in deep green and rich red are other standout moments.
Every element, from the swimwear to the jewelry to the bags, lands on the same idea: polished, but never fussed over.
