Saint Laurent, a distinguished name in luxury fashion, was established in 1961 and pioneered the concept of luxury ready-to-wear with the launch of the 'Rive Gauche' line in 1966, symbolizing youth and freedom. This innovation marked a pivotal moment in the modernization of fashion and reshaped the socio-cultural landscape. Acquired by Kering's luxury division in 1999, Saint Laurent continues to thrive under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, offering a wide array of collections including women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear.
