Finishing Supervisor - Footwear

Overview

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first fashion house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter with its 1966 'Rive Gauche' line, symbolizing youth and freedom. This pivotal shift played a crucial role in modernizing fashion and revolutionizing the socio-cultural landscape. Acquired by the Kering Group's luxury division in 1999, Yves Saint Laurent, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, continues to be a leader in the luxury sector. Today, Saint Laurent's collections encompass women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear.
