Summary

About Us
Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury
prêt-à-porter in a 1966 collection called ‘Rive Gauche’, synonymous with youth and freedom. This
shift represented a first critical step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the sociocultural
landscape.
In 1999, the luxury goods division of the Kering Group acquired Yves Saint Laurent and, under the
creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, continues to position the house at the
summit of the luxury universe.
