System launches its Issue 20, featuring Saint Laurent cover stars CEO Francesca Bellettini and creative director Anthony Vaccarello in conversation about the brand’s €3 billion success story.

‘Never ever compromise the brand’ says Saint Laurent CEO and cover star, Francesca Bellettini. Which, when you have a name as alluring and storied as Saint Laurent, would seem like common sense.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Bellettini and fellow cover star and creative director Anthony Vaccarello discuss their respective paths towards the hallowed Parisian house, their duty to prepare the terrain for the next generation, and why it’s sometimes best to ignore the €3 billion success story they’re making there. Interview by Jonathan Wingfield.

‘Chic, no? After every season Anthony and I look at each other and say: Chic, no?’ Photographer Juergen Teller presents a portfolio of his photographic journey with Saint Laurent since 2019.
