TORSO-directed "SS26" arrived as a runway-show video packed with fashion figures including Carine Roitfeld, Debra Shaw and Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello.
The cast stretches beyond recognizable names to industry operators such as PR executive Lucien Pagès, sound producer Michel Gaubert, indie label August Barron and filmmaker Loïc Prigent, turning the clip into an insider-heavy fashion roll call.
