Overview

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first fashion house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear with the launch of the 'Rive Gauche' line in 1966, symbolizing youth and freedom. This pivotal shift marked a crucial step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape. In 1999, Yves Saint Laurent was acquired by the luxury division of the Kering Group, and under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, it continues to be a leader in the luxury universe. Today, Saint Laurent's collections encompass women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear.
