Yves Saint Laurent

Costing Specialist - Footwear

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