Summary
ABOUT SAINT LAURENT
Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce
the concept of luxury pret-a-porter in a 1966 collection called 'Rive Gauche',
synonymous with youth and freedom. This shift represented a first critical
step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural
landscape.
In 1999, the luxury goods division of the Kering Group acquired Yves Saint
Laurent and, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April
2016, continues to position the house at the summit of the luxury universe.
Today, Saint Laurent collections include women's and men's ready-to-wear,
shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties and eyewear.
