Saint Laurent unveils an intimate exploration of love letters, starring Zoë Kravitz, Rosé, and Cooper Koch.
Saint Laurent ventures into the deeply personal world of love letters with its latest project, curated by Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello. This initiative centers around a new Saint Laurent Editions book that explores the intimate nature of written devotion.
The book includes a QR code that transports readers to a digital platform, where voices breathe life into historic love letters. Charlotte Gainsbourg lends her voice to Virginia Woolf’s passionate words to Vita Sackville-West, while Vassili Schneider resurrects the tender exchanges between Mozart and his wife, Constanze, as well as the correspondence between poets Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine.
The project extends beyond the page through a series of films directed by Mitch Ryan, featuring contemporary cultural icons Zoë Kravitz, Rosé, and Cooper Koch. These visual interpretations bring to life the passionate words exchanged between Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, and Leo Tolstoy and Valeria Arsenev.
Saint Laurent also introduces a vinyl recording featuring Metronomy’s “Love Letters,” remixed by Enfant Sauvage, accompanied by two special readings by Rosé. The experience becomes tactile in select locations worldwide, where custom phone booths allow visitors to immerse themselves in these historical declarations of love.
The installation will be available at Saint Laurent Rive Droite in Los Angeles, Saint Laurent Babylone in Paris, the Seoul flagship, and the Meatpacking store in New York, offering an intimate window into the timeless nature of romantic expression.
This collection of love letters—spanning centuries and sensibilities—transforms private moments of passion into a shared celebration of human connection, positioning itself as both a literary treasure and a contemporary art experience.
