Saint Laurent Launches Fine Jewelry by Anthony Vaccarello, Lensed by Juergen Teller AOC Fashion

Saint Laurent, the renowned French Maison, has recently unveiled its first-ever fine jewelry collection.  Look at those ladybug nails!!!

Though jewelry accessories have always been part of the seasonal YSL collections, "Saint Laurent Haute Joaillerie" is the first to source fine metals. 

The campaign for Saint Laurent's debut jewelry line artfully juxtaposes the elegance of the pieces with the re-potting of a plant, as seen in the campaign photos by Juergen Teller.

While it's unlikely that these luxurious pieces will be worn during gardening activities, the buzz surrounding the launch is undeniable.

People abuse the word ‘chic’ today, and I rarely use it, but this collection is unadulterated French chic to the max. It’s fabulous!

Okay, AOC friends. Tell me this isn’t kismet.

Ladybug, Ladybug

I popped over to Anthony Vaccarello’s IG — right after seeing the ladybug nails — to see if I was missing anything. Two pics grabbed me.

The first picture is Vaccarello’s darling child Luca with a ladybug on his hand, next to Juergen Teller’s ladybug nails campaign image above. Anthony Vaccarello is married to Arnaud Michaux.

Chic, No?
