Vaccarello x Rachel Seidu: Saint Laurent Rive Droite Casts A New Exhibition Highlighting Stories Told Between A Nigerian Artist And Her Environment

Rachel Seidu utilizes visual storytelling as a medium to share intimate exchanges between her home and her emotions.

Marking another hotspot on Saint Laurent Rive Droite’s expansive list of artist expenditures, Anthony Vaccarello welcomes his latest and greatest visual storyteller, Rachel Seidu, to exhibit her work in the Saint Laurent Rive Droite stores in Paris and Los Angeles. Born in Nigeria, she makes the environment of her country her artistic landscape. By taking viewers on an emotional journey, breaking and erasing stereotypes about African culture, gender, race, and sexuality, her photographs reveal intimate stories of her subjects that are both accurate and real.

Evoking a storyteller identity, Rachel Seidu becomes an artist whose work tells stories as powerful as those told in books. 7 photographs of Rachel Seidu including Self-Sabotage, Boy At The Ikpoba River, and Rainbows And Wishes will be exhibited at the Saint Laurent Rive Droite stores.

Named as a nod to Saint Laurent’s rive gauche line, that helped to democratize fashion and luxury in the sixties, the exclusive retail destination for expression, exchange, and lifestyle – The Saint Laurent Rive Droite – showcases a wide range of products, including exclusive pieces, limited editions, library, vintage, music, photography combined with art, performances, exhibitions, events, and cultural exchanges. Conceptualized by Anthony Vaccarello, the extensive and diversified offer from different creative and design fields is imagined and embraced in new ways to enlarge the universe and the DNA of Saint Laurent.
