Anthony Vaccarello, former creative director of Saint Laurent, is set to receive the CFDA’s award for international designer of the year at the upcoming gala. His departure from Saint Laurent after a decade-long tenure marked the end of a significant chapter, during which he shaped iconic designs such as the Opyum heels and the Le 5 à 7 and Icare bags. He also created the viral Stand-Collar Jacket, the hottest product in Q1 2026 according to the Lyst index.
Vaccarello launched his namesake label in 2009 after winning the Hyères Prize in 2006 and working with Karl Lagerfeld at Fendi. His latest It item, the Simone Bag, debuted during Saint Laurent's F/W 26 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Priced at $3900, the bag comes in medium and large sizes and has been spotted on celebrities including Iris Law, Amelia Gray, and Bella Hadid.
