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.

Acquired by Kering's luxury division in 1999, Yves Saint Laurent, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, continues to maintain its position at the pinnacle of the luxury industry.
