Former Maxim cover star Hailey Bieber, Blackpink singer Rosé, actor Bill Skarsgård and a slew of top models are helping Yves Saint Laurent slide into fall (and winter) with a moody, black-and-white campaign.

Shot by famed fashion photographer Gray Sorrenti, the images show the latest looks from YSL creative director Anthony Vaccarello, who also heads the brand’s arty Riva Droite lifestyle branch.

Dark leather, oversized outerwear with big shoulders, multiple appearances from the luxury luxury label’s Icarino handbag, and faces obscured by eyewear and strategically placed hands keep the focus on the pieces and off of the all-star cast, which also includes models Liu Wen, Song Jia, Anok, Binx, Loli Bahia, Bukwop Kir, Jesse Sachet-Dufraisse, Grace Hartzel, and Pascal Thulin.

A minute-long campaign video juxtaposes the innate glamour of high fashion with an almost melancholy energy, thanks largely to subtle expressions and the folksy minor melodies in underground singer-songwriter Arsun’s “Wide World.” Check it out below:

Supermodel and former Maxim cover star Irina Shayk is making her debut as the new face of storied French lingerie brand Etam in a head-turning new campaign. Dubbed “J’Etam—a portmanteau of “Je t’aime” ( French for “I love you”) and the brand’s name, the new collection takes inspiration from “every form of love: romantic, familial, friendly, platonic, and above all, self-love.”

Shayk, who previously covered Maxim’s July/August 2014 issue and was celebrated in this year’s 30th anniversary edition of the Maxim Hot 100, appears in naturally lit, minimally staged images captured by New York-based photographer Brianna Capozzi. The Russian stunner dons a number of alluring lacy panties and bras, as well as other pieces that will be fully unveiled at an upcoming live show helmed by J’Etam artistic director Oliver Leone on September 30.

Shayk’s leading role at Etam is just the latest in a number of recent high-profile collabs with brands that include Helmut Lang, Marc Jacobs, Sport & Rich and Dolce & Gabbana. She also helped Vogue Brasil celebrate its 50th anniversary with a cover shot the day after Carnaval.
