Adelaide model features in Saint Laurent SS15 Campaign

Words by December 16, 2014

If I could drape myself in all things Saint Laurent, I would. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case so my latest link to the label is the fact that an Adelaide model is the new face of their Spring/Summer 15 campaign.

Yep, that’s right. 17-year-old Madi Stubbington and her perfect porcelain stars in the iconic fashion house’s latest photography campaign titled ‘Psych Rock’.

The collection itself debuted earlier this year at Paris Fashion Week with the boys wearing layers upon layers of vests and half-unbuttoned shirts, reminiscent of a more romantic time where people enjoyed music festivals in a haze summer of love. In a first for a menswear show, they were joined on the runway by girls wearing various shades of paisley and velvets.

And this exactly what Hedi Slimane – inimitable creative director of Saint Laurent – has recently shot Stubbington in. The flowing paisley dress and her fiery red hair is muted by the monochromatic shots but she’s unmistakable all the same.

What a way to top off a year where she was booked for 31 shows on the SS15 Fashion Week circuit, jetting in between London, Paris, Milan and New York to walk for the likes of Valentino and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Not to mention that feature in US Vogue… If she isn’t the definition of Adelaide talent, I don’t know what is #yougogirl
