Saint LaurentĪitken has gained a following for his large-scale sculptural installations, many of which involve reflective surfaces that draw attention to modern society’s embattled relationship with nature. Runway shot of Saint Laurent Spring Summer 2022 Menswear line.
Set to an ethereal soundtrack, the show saw black-clad models circling Aitken’s pavilion, which was tinged rose via lighting effects. Long before the Belgian designer joined the house in 2016, the label’s founder, Yves Saint Laurent, paid tribute to artists like Andy Warhol and Piet Mondrian.Īmong those who attended the runway show on Wednesday were Kering owner and art collector Francois Pinault, designer Rick Owens, and Vogue editor Hamish Bowles. “Those projects are enabling me to work with artists whose vision is similar to mine,” Vacarello said, “but in different fields.” With Saint Laurent, there’s a long history of drawing inspiration from talent in other fields, particularly painters. It’s not the first time Vaccarello has tapped an artist for such a grand project Vanessa Beecroft, Daido Moriyama, Helmut Lang, and others have done similar work for the creative director in the past half decade. Vaccarello told ARTnews that the work relates to Saint Laurent’s new collection because it represents the “desire to look to the future without forgetting the past.” The collection combines Victorian elements and the label’s modern all-black androgynous aesthetic. “It’s not erected and then disposed of-it kind of seeps back into the earth,” Aitken said in an interview, calling Green Lens a “living artwork.”
After the work is de-installed at the end of the month, the vegetation will be re-planted around the island. The ecology theme of the work goes beyond the selection of local vegetation.
