Anthony Vaccarello

Like, I'm really just trying to, trying to...

I'm really struggling to trying to understand what Luca De Meo is trying to do because if Pier Paolo is really gone, if Anthony Vaccarello will also be gone, as the rumor is, and if Louis Trotter is floundering, and Gucci is awful, McQueen is done.

McQueen is dead, yeah.

So w- what is he trying to do over there? I don't understand.

I mean, I feel like there was big fashion news this week, right? I...

Anthony Vaccarello leaving Saint Laurent.

Wow.

It's crazy that that was this week-

Every single thing about it.

Anthony Vaccarello.

Um, it was his last show after 10 years with Saint Laurent, and I think he did it perfectly.

Beautifully, poetically, just wow.

But it was, I mean, it was an amazing show.

I'm, huge respect to Anthony Vaccarello.

We should talk about this, like, the narrative that kind of developed in August and then through September was, I had, I had talked to someone during couture who basically had said, "Uh, Anthony's deciding whether or not to stay.

It's been 10 years." His contract was not up.

Yeah.

I think, um, the only person that had the guts to, to knock that show last week was Kathy Horn, and, and the points that she made about it are fair.

I was someone who, like, really had very little to f- to say or think about Anthony Vaccarello until he started to use Paul Sinclair for styling, really work with Lotta on campaigns.

Yeah.

I'm so sad.

[sighs] But we need to take a moment of silence because Anthony Vaccarello is leaving Saint Laurent.

I have no words [chuckles] because I love him as the creative director of Saint Laurent.

I love his photography.

But I just-- He's become so synonymous with the brand.

Like, I don't even look at it as just Saint Laurent.

I think of Anthony Vaccarello Saint Laurent.

And so yeah, it's really sad.

I think every episode we say that.

We're like, "Oh my God, there's so much going on." Well, actually, this morning, this is Friday, October 9th, so I don't know when people will be listening to this, but we've officially found out that Anthony Vaccarello is out at Saint Laurent, which is weird because everyone was saying at the show that, like, this was, like, his final, um, his final show.

Uh, but then the brand, like, didn't confirm it.

They were like, "No, that's not true," but then they just did.

Mm-hmm

...

he, like, sh- at, at Anthony Vaccarello's style is very much, like, kind of the same.

Do you know? Like-

Seems like we would vibe.

Another stunty thing that happened was Anthony Vaccarello's final show for Saint Laurent, or rumored to be his final show, which consisted of 46 gold looks followed by, like, I don't know, maybe 10 black dresses.

I counted.

It was 10 all-black ensembles.

If this is how he wants to go out, why not?

Which, by the way, there has not been an official announcement.

Lauren from the future cutting off Lauren from the past to say that on Friday morning, Kering officially announced that Anthony Vaccarello was leaving Saint Laurent.

In a brief statement, Kering said of Vaccarello that he played a key role in Saint Laurent's development, helping to strengthen its identity and influence across the world of fashion and culture.
