Saint Laurent Editions presents Parthenope, a cinematic collector’s book conceived by Anthony Vaccarello and inspired by Paolo Sorrentino’s latest film. The release captures the visual richness and emotional depth of the movie in an archival-style box set that blurs the line between print and cinema.
This carefully curated edition from Saint Laurent Editions includes behind-the-scenes photographs, striking film stills by Greg Williams, and Sorrentino’s original screenplay—offering readers a rare look inside the making of the film. Parthenope is the second volume in the maison’s Director’s Boxes series, which debuted with Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Perez.
Sorrentino’s Parthenope follows its heroine from 1950s Naples through the decades, portraying her as a timeless embodiment of the city’s spirit. Known for his lyrical storytelling, Sorrentino once again explores themes of youth, beauty, and the passage of time. Vaccarello’s vision was to translate these fleeting cinematic moments into a tactile, lasting object.
Available exclusively at Saint Laurent Babylone in Paris, Parthenope is both a collector’s piece and a tribute to the enduring dialogue between fashion, film, and memory.
