Summary
ABOUT SAINT LAURENT
Founded in 1961 Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-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 womens and mens ready-to-wear shoes handbags small leather goods jewelry scarves ties and eyewear.
