Saint Laurent Productions is at it again, proving that fashion and film make the perfect power couple. In the trailer for their latest film, The Passion According to Béatrice from director Fabrice Du Welz, we follow titular character Béatrice Dale on a journey across Italy as she traces the footsteps of famed filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. A journey that’s as much about nostalgia as it is about cinematic style, it’s the latest from Anthony Vaccarello’s ever-expanding cinematic vision for the brand.

The swoon-worthy pilgrimage through Italy, retracing the steps of the Italian auteur is rife with picturesque scenes. Think wandering through sun-soaked streets, the rustic charms of towns in the East, and sultry scenes in the West, as Dale searches for connection to her idol. It’s part biography, part homage, with a dash of romantic obsession. Now in French cinemas, expect high fashion, haunting beauty, and, of course, the same sense of timeless rebellion that defines both Pasolini and Saint Laurent.

The Passion According to Béatrice

Saint Laurent Productions isn’t just dipping its toes into film; it’s diving headfirst. The venture feels like a natural extension of Vaccarello's creative ethos. In recent years, his designs have been rooted in cinema (you only need to watch the livestream for his recent S/S 25 show) and now he's bringing that drama from runway to the big screen by working with some of his favourite filmmakers.

Saint Laurent Productions has steadily built a reputation for its cinematic endeavours, blending fashion and film with an avant-garde flair. Previous releases have explored themes of identity, artistry, and rebellion, often featuring visionary directors and bold storytelling. Notable projects include Strange Way of Life, a queer Western by Pedro Almodóvar, which stunned audiences with its emotional depth and striking visuals.
