Simply titled Zoë, the latest instalment from Anthony Vaccarello‘s ever-growing Rive Droite arm of Saint Laurent is a photobook honouring US actor Zoë Kravitz. Photographed by renowned South African photographer and director Henrik Purienne, across one hundred pages Purienne captures Kravitz through a series of striking, sensual portraits.
Embodying Vaccarello’s vision of the modern-day Saint Laurent woman as someone who is in clear command of her allure, Purienne’s lens follows Kravitz from the beach to the city as she lounges by the pool, smokes a cigarette on the Seine, and poses through windows.

The book release is accompanied by a steamy short film directed by Vaccarello and featuring a small cast of “supporting players,” including actor Jeremy Allen White. Soundtracked by Joséphine Baker’s J’ai Deux Amours, the pair are hot summer personified. Zoë will be available at Saint Laurent Babylone, Paris, and at Saint Laurent Rive Droite in Los Angeles where the images from the book are currently being exhibited before heading to Saint Laurent Babylone.
