"Yves Saint Laurent himself once said, 'I like dresses to be sober and accessories to be wild,' highlighting his philosophy of contrasting simplicity with boldness in fashion."
"Anthony Vaccarello's Spring/Summer 2026 collection was heaped with excessive baroque jewels that threw back directly to Saint Laurent originals of the early 1990s, showcasing a blend of past and present."
"The jewels included breastplate-scale cross necklaces dangling resin teardrop gems that resembled Renaissance treasures, suspended from thick industrial chains for a modern twist."
Yves Saint Laurent's approach to jewelry emphasized a balance between sober dresses and wild accessories. Collaborations with artists like Claude Lalanne in the 1960s led to remarkable costume jewelry. Loulou de la Falaise continued this legacy from the 1970s, creating pieces that complemented total looks. Anthony Vaccarello, the current creative director, draws inspiration from Saint Laurent's history, particularly for the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, which features exaggerated baroque jewels reminiscent of the early 1990s, merging historical styles with modern designs.
