First look at new Anthony Vaccarello collection for Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent has unveiled designs from its spring/summer campaign under the direction of their new art director Anthony Vaccarello with model Anja Rubik.

Shot in black and white by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the images capture Rubik in an embroidered, sequined bodysuit paired with a denim jacket. She leans against a bridge overlooking the Seine in Paris, with windswept hair that hides her face.

Vaccarello makes his highly anticipated debut as the French fashion house's newest art director. He replaced Hedi Slimane in April.

Rubik is meant to portray a free, hedonistic and elusive woman for the brand, reports WWD, while the collection is meant to juxtapose femininity with sensuality through pairing of leather, jewels and lace.

Vaccarello makes his first runway debut for Saint Laurent on September 27 at Paris Fashion Week.
