Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter with its collection "Saint Laurent Rive Gauche" in 1966. This collection, synonymous with youth and freedom, marked a significant milestone in the modernization of fashion, redefining the socio-cultural landscape.

Over the years, the House of Saint Laurent has created groundbreaking styles that have become iconic cultural and artistic references. Its founder, couturier Yves Saint Laurent, established himself as one of the foremost designers of the twentieth century.

As part of the Kering Group, the House remains committed to its core values of absolute modernity and fashion authority. Since the appointment of Anthony Vaccarello as creative director in April 2016, Saint Laurent offers an extensive range of women's and men's ready-to-wear products, including leather goods, shoes, jewellery, and eyewear. Additionally, through a licence agreement, the House has made a significant impact in the fragrance and cosmetics industry.
