Throw on your Le Smoking suit and pop on a pair of headphones because Saint Laurent has launched a podcast. As part of his Rive Droite concept store, Anthony Vaccarello introduces his first podcast series titled Smoking: The Podcast. Fittingly taking place in an intimate, smoke-filled room at the Saint Laurent Rive Droite store in Paris, the podcast will see intimate conversations between Vaccarello and Saint Laurent’s close-knit family. The nature of the recording room is meant to allow its guests to relax, unwind and let go, encouraging them to freely discuss any topic that may arise, simultaneously showcasing the long-held DNA of Saint Laurent.

French actress Catherine Deneuve, filmmaker Gaspar Noé and supermodel Laetitia Casta are amongst the audio show’s first guests which will introduce weekly episodes. Available to listen now on all major streaming platforms, Catherine Deneuve has stepped foot into the dim-lit room, sitting down with renowned journalist Pascale Clark as they talk beauty, career milestones, the world of film and the important people who inform her daily life.
