Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first fashion house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear with the creation of the 'Rive Gauche' line in 1966, symbolizing youth and freedom. This pivotal move modernized fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape. Acquired by Kering's luxury division in 1999, Yves Saint Laurent, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, remains at the pinnacle of the luxury universe. Today, Saint Laurent's collections encompass women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear.
