ABOUT SAINT LAURENT Founded in , Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter in a collection called ‘Rive Gauche’, synonymous with youth and freedom.
This shift represented a first critical step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the socio- cultural landscape.
In , the luxury goods division of the Kering Group acquired Yves Saint Laurent and, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April , continues to position the house at the summit of the luxury universe.
