french house fashionable Saint Laurent today announced the creation of Saint Laurent Productions, which will debut at the Cannes Film Festival in the official competition section with Pedro Almodóvar’s film A Strange Way of Life.

“I want to work with all the great film talents that have inspired me over the years and give them space,” Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello said.

The haute couture house, which is part of the Kering group, he notes, was the first to include film production in its activities.

Saint Laurent Productions will take part in the official competition program of the 76th Cannes Film Festival, which will be held from 16 to 27 May. The film stars Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal.
