Yves Saint Laurent’s Acclaimed Campaign
Koch stars in Yves Saint Laurent’s As Time Goes By, a campaign inspired by Marcel Proust’s In Search Of Lost Time. The project, shot by Alex La Cruz, features seven short films with tailored suiting and moody aesthetics. Co-starring Chloe Sevigny and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the series highlights Koch’s ability to balance intellectual depth with physical presence.

So, what’s next? Whatever it is, we’re ready to watch this rising star continue his climb. And, honestly, isn’t it thrilling to see someone from the LGBTQIA+ community not just rise to the occasion but absolutely own it?
