Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first fashion house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter 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 be a leader in the luxury sector. Today, Saint Laurent's collections include women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear.
