Yves Saint LaurentProduct Development Assistant Intern
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 marked a crucial step in modernizing fashion and revolutionizing 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, continues to be a leader in the luxury industry. Today, Saint Laurent's collections include women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear.
