Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture 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 innovation marked a pivotal moment in the modernization of fashion, revolutionizing the socio-cultural landscape. In 1999, Yves Saint Laurent was acquired by the luxury division of the Kering Group. Under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, the brand continues to be a leader in the luxury sector. Today, Saint Laurent's collections encompass women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, and ties.
