All that remains on YSL’s Instagram account is this portrait of Anthony Vaccarello.

​This week, it was confirmed that Anthony Vaccarello would take over from Hedi Slimane as the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. Following this announcement, the house has cut ties from Slimane even further by deleting every single post on the brand’s Instagram account prior to the announcement.

Only time will tell what the exact reasoning behind this decision was, but it looks as if Anthony Vaccarello has been left with a clean slate to begin his tenure at the house.
