Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first fashion house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear with the launch of the 'Rive Gauche' line in 1966, symbolizing youth and freedom. This pivotal shift modernized fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape. In 1999, Yves Saint Laurent was acquired by Kering's luxury division, and under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, it continues to lead 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, ties, and eyewear.
